Nootropics is the second album released by Baltimore indie rock band Lower Dens. It was released April 30, 2012, on the Domino Recording Company’s Ribbon Music label, the band's first album on that label, its debut Twin-Hand Movement being released on Gnomonsong.
Nootropics was recorded at the Key Club Recording Company in Benton Harbor, Michigan. It was produced by Drew Brown, an engineer who had assisted Nigel Godrich on several projects.
The second track "Brains" was released as a single ahead of the album, and highlighted that week by Stereogum.
