DARK DARK DARK’S WILD GO OUT THIS WEEK, RELEASE NEW VIDEO, CONTINUE U.S TOUR, AND PLAY DAYTROTTER & YOURSTRU.LY SESSION!
“[Nona Marie Invie’s] voice – rich, with just a dash of quaver – sounds like it was crafted by divine means in order to sing the kind of blues that Woodie Guthrie once did so well…Though their music tends toward a more melancholy tone, its lushness connotes the sort of organic beauty that instantly dispels the maudlin in favor of something living and vibrant.” – Chris Martins, LA Weekly
Dark Dark Dark’s Wild Go was released this week on Supply and Demand Music, and they’re continuing their massive tour to support this lush and haunting record. They’ve also released a new video for the song “Daydreaming,” directed by band member Jonathan Kaiser and photographed by Sam Hoolihan. The video uses the rich color palette of super 8 film to capture billowing clouds, a brightly clad marching band’s procession across the sun drenched landscape of suburban freeways, and Dark Dark Dark’s improbable performance in the middle of a parking lot strewn with dumpstered flowers. In fact, the band and their friends managed to act out these scenes in a single day of renegade shooting – simply showing up at a mall with a truckload of instruments, including a grand piano.

In addition to this new video, the ever-busy Dark Dark Dark have recently recorded an amazing performance of their song “Bright Bright Bright” with High/Low Films for the Yourstru.ly site, as well as recording a new session for Daytrotter. The stunning Yourstru.ly video was shot in San Francisco’s historic Swedish American Music Hall, and tru.ly captures the musical aesthetic of the band.
