DARK DARK DARK
Multi-instrumentalists Nova Marie Invie and Marshall LaCount formed a kinship in their small corner of Minneapolis and gathered four other old-minded youth folk to "revel in the wonder that is around us always". Dark Dark Dark has evolved into a mini-orchestra juxtaposing loosely defined piano patterns, pauses and age-old instrumentation against meandering vocals and guitar reverb. The result is resigned, languid, sun burnt, sullen- a Southern slur that borrows as much from the vaudeville era as from Rihanna. Breakthrough album Wild Go is an apocalyptic story told over layers and visuals and textures and timbre. Recorded on analogue tape in a renovated church and old theatre, lyrics cite folklore and old wives tales.
