Darlings - "Centuries of Light"

Brooklyn garage-pop act Darlings are readying the release of their new record. Despite lacking a title, the band has gone ahead and shared a single from the forth-coming album and it's called "Centuries of Light". It's a got a surfy jangle-guitar vibe and is a perfect jam for a breezy summer afternoon.

Darlings played Brooklyn Bowl

Brooklyn garage-pop ensemble Darlings got some buzz during the city's CMJ festival and recently did a stint at SXSW, however they have yet to get a real steady following. Their guitar fuzzed pop sound had lots of room to fill at the large Brooklyn Bowl and the early set time really prevented any sort of audience from packing the place. The squealing voice from the spastic guitarist matched up pretty well to the band's recordings however the band seemed to lack a sort of energy needed to make the songs really explode. "Eviction Party" could have got people moving had there been enough of a crowd and set closer "If This Is Love" really nailed the night for me. Perhaps these guys need to stick to smaller places for the time being until they can get enough people to really rock the walls.
