***On March 9th DARK DARK DARK will be releasing the precursor to their forthcoming sophomore full-length in the form of a stunning six-song 12-inch vinyl EP entitled Bright Bright Bright. Hailing from New Orleans, New York and Minneapolis (the latter where they lay their collective hat when not touring Europe or The States) the chamber-folk sextet have yielded a lush and intoxicating follow-up to their 2008 full-length debut The Snow Magic.  On the record, the band moves beyond past-tales of love, heartache and loneliness toward more rewarding and hopeful horizons. As Marshall LaCount explains, "These songs are about new beginnings, and usually have a little triumphant twist in them. The songs are often about a character finding a place or growing in the world in a positive way, and the little exciting and sometimes strange interactions that happen along the way."  Engineered and mixed by legendary Minneapolis producer Tom Herbers (WHY?, Low, Retribution Gospel Choir, The Jayhawks, Fog), Bright Bright Bright finds the band doing more with less. After a successful run opening for the band WHY? last fall, Dark Dark Dark recorded the EP at Sacred Heart Studios, a converted church overlooking Lake Superior.   The band took advantage of the chapel's natural reverb to amplify the power of their live performance.

Remix 7-inch

Supply And Demand Music

***To commemorate their October 2009 tour with WHY?, Minneapolis’ DARK DARK DARK deliver a 7-inch featuring remixes by ODD NOSDAM and DOSH. Odd Nosdam puts his signature spin on crowd favorite “Junk Bones,” filling the tune with dirty breakbeats and nasty bass, while Dosh’s remix of “All The Things” floats in and out, a simple loop growing and changing out of control. As a bonus each copy includes a download with an additional psych remix of “Colors” by Supply & Demand label chief TOM INHALER. (STREET DATE - 10/06/2009)

Snow Magic

Supply And Demand Music

***If you listen, the story of the band DARK DARK DARK is woven into the haunting songs of their debut album, The Snow Magic. It’s a story of love and heartache, death and loneliness, and the persistent sense of hope that keeps you living and moving. These familiar themes are tangled up with tales of ghosts, fermenting bodies, and magical dreams. Dark Dark Dark’s sound draws heavily on Americana and Eastern European influences, referencing a long tradition of wandering musicians and those who have lived deeply. Despite the references, it’s clear listening to The Snow Magic that this isn’t a band preoccupied with recreating the past. Rather, the band both celebrates the past and looks forward, with songs remembering lost friends, leaving lovers behind, and casting off the things that hold us back. With intricate song-craft and playful sensibilities, Dark Dark Dark uses their small array of age-old instruments to conjure a lush musical vision of the future. Dark Dark Dark’s journey continues in 2008, as the band collaborates with the artist Swoon and playwright Lisa D’Amour on Swimming Cities of Switchback Sea, a flotilla of rafts to be sailed down the Hudson River, culminating in a performance at Deitch Projects in New York City. It will also see the bands first European tour, and filming and scoring Flood, a project conceived and directed by bassist TODD CHANDLER. (STREET DATE - 10/28/2008)
