Lower Dens have announced their first studio album in four years. The Competition is the follow-up to 2015’s Escape From Evil, and it arrives September 6 via Ribbon Music. They have also shared lead single “Young Republicans,” along with a retro music video directed by Raul Gonzo. Check it out below, and scroll down for the LP’s cover art and tracklist.

Of the new album, Lower Dens’ vocalist and songwriter Jana Hunter said in a press release:

The issues that have shaped my life, for better or for worse, have to do with coming from a family and a culture that totally bought into this competitive mindset. I was wild and in a lot of pain as a kid; home life was very bleak, and pop songs were a guaranteed escape to a mental space where beauty, wonder, and love were possible. I wanted to write songs that might have the potential to do that.
