GROUND IS SOUND
This album is a soulful walk through your mind and eventually to the discovery that although your time on earth is limited, your creation will live on forever. From the title track "Ground is Sound" ambient beginnings followed by a raucous chorus line are meant to symbolize the path your mind takes you from the cradle. Early Hood whispers through layers of Death Cab computers and the sweet and hopeful, with ambient bliss followed by a raucous chorus. With Television and New Wave guitars, Malkmus or Martsch vocals and the ever-present melancholy, this is where Darling hits its stride, spilling secrets over acoutic guitars, fending off mini-Korgs at every corner.
“... beautifully frantic, a drawn out eruption of restrained emotion, like a long dream laced with tension. ”
Bootleg
“... A very beautiful declaration of intents, a proclamation for a group which must already have the impression of a preacher in the desert.”
Derives (fr)
“...a young 4-piece from Chicago that play an intelligent, melancholic pop loaded with lush harmonies and moving soundscapes. Their sound touches upon the blissfully, sorrowful notes of Jeff Buckley mixed with the deeply layered textures of Television...”
