Darker My Love: Alive As You Are (Dangerbird)

Darker My Love: Alive As You Are (Dangerbird) - Los Angeles quintet Darker My Love's 3rd LP peels back the delay pedals, noisy squalls and hazy vocals, opting for a breezier 60s psych-pop sound. The guitars driven songs are entwined with sweetly sung harmonies. Some lap-steel and vintage keys round things out. Nearly Recommended. Play 1 7 8 9

Darker My Love: 2 (Dangerbird)

Darker My Love: 2 (Dangerbird) - Don’t be deterred by simplistically titled sophomore release from Darker My Love.  This is heavy, Los Angeles neo- psychedelic rock that’s brimming with feedback-filled guitars and sunburnt harmonies.  From the squalls to the serenity, there’s a nice coco-butter sheen to the sound which comes to life in a sonic renderings of a liquid light show.  Recommended.
