Darker My Love

Got an advance copy of the new Darker My Love CD, 2, in the mail last week and the first thought I had was “Is this the new Dandy Warhols album?” Of course, I don’t know the Dandies THAT well so maybe this sounds nothing like them but when I checked my e-mail in-box I see a note saying Darker My Love is going to be touring with the Dandies this summer so I guess the comparison isn’t too far off. 2 is a stunning listen, even the first time through, full of fuzzy and shimmering guitars, the kind of which made people fall in love with the previously mentioned Dandy Warhols as well as artists like Spiritualized. I haven’t given it enough listens to hammer out a review right now, but one will be coming shortly.

In the meantime, here are a few goodies for you to nibble on.
