DARLING. - 'Into, Outside' [EP]
$5.00 - $11.00

Released February 3rd, 2022

Limited edition of 20 CD singles.

DARLING. is the bedroom project of Caitlin Finn (ex-Dorothy and Dog) and Joel Glazebrook (Edith Thomas Furey), combining the bleak atmospherics and shoegaze sensibilities of their previous projects. Incorporating a range of other influences - including post-punk, dreampop and new wave - into an experimental, moody fugue, DARLING. have spent this last plague-year slowly refining their sound, which reflects their own despair and joy.

The debut EP 'Into, Outside' features six tracks, recorded at Glazebrook’s home studio, The Golden Library. The title, taken from the duo’s first co-written song ‘Alistair’, reflects the interstitial atmosphere at the heart of the work. Consonant with ‘Alistair’, the other tracks on the EP arise from dream-like locations, concerning people who may or may not exist, both within and outside of these fantasy spaces.

The simultaneous reality-unreality of these figures haunts the music. Serving as an overture, the EP inaugurates a musical project that aims to demystify and elucidate the unresolvable being of these figures. The six tracks on Into, Outside stand at the cross-roads of ethereality and post-punk angularity. Anchored to honesty and weirdness, Into, Outside provides a soundtrack that one can either dance or cry to. Or both at the same time.
