DARKER MY LOVE - DARKER MY LOVE (LP)

Darker My Love Darker My Love on LP

Darker My Love's self-titled debut upholds the reputation their live show has helped award them. Taking a cue from the greats such as My Bloody Valentine, The Velvet Underground and some influence from their peers like The Dandy Warhols, Brian Jonestown Massacre and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Darker My Love’s extraordinary debut establishes them as a vital component in the psychrock scene.

Album opener (the appropriately titled) “Opening” slinks through your stereo with an iridescent lead guitar, setting the stage for the manic maraca and single note battle cry that opens “What’s a Man’s Paris,” a song bursting at the seams with thick, droning chords and jagged edges of wild feedback. Elsewhere, first single “Summer is Here” opens with a riff that is pure Iggy and the Stooges, “Claws and Paws” turns “Some Velvet Morning” on its head, infusing its lead melody with a damn-near Sabbath-esque guitar onslaught, while “I Feel Fine” is anchored by a Stereolab organ woozy enough to knock you right off your feet. And like any good band, by the last fading note, Darker My Love leaves you wanting much, much more.
