Dark Canyon

***Long Days, Pleasant Nights is a spacious exploration of grainy western landscapes. Following on the heels of Dark Canyon’s self-titled release, LDPN embraces a minimalist flair and emphasizes the time between notes. Inspired heavily by Stephen King’s Dark Tower series, this record has been conceived as a metaphysical western. From the first mellotron notes to the final guitar swell, Long Days, Pleasant Nights unfolds over the course of ten tracks, all thoughtfully arranged and wonderfully sparse. Analog production combined with sporadic improvisation guides the tonal voyage. Featuring contributions from some of Chicago’s finest players, LDPN offers a cinematic escape and an introspective journey that is a welcome new chapter in the evolving Dark Canyon sound.
