Approved: Darker My Love (SNAP Of The Day)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 30 June 2009
Darker My Love are a noisy shoegazing five piece from LA with a new album out called ‘2’. After listening to it, I immediately felt the urge to listen to A Place To Bury Strangers’ album from last year, only to later find out that these new guys are supporting the Mute signed trio on a couple of European dates. Perfect. And that tie up should give you an inkling of where they’re at musically here, though while APTS offer a more violent, propulsive, altogether blacker brand of noise (let’s call it the My Bloody Valentine side), Darker My Love are more psychedelic and dreamy (I’m pitching this as the Spacemen 3 side). There’s plenty of feedback, horns, violin, cello and moments that it would be rather routine to describe as ‘epic’, though I’m going to describe them that way anyway because it fits the band nicely. Take a listen at the MySpace link below, particularly to ‘Two Ways Out’, the current single, and pay a visit to one of the two London shows coming up.
