Brooklyn’s Darlings

Darlings - Brooklyn, New York

MP3: Darlings – “TV”
MP3: Darlings – “Teenage Girl”

You may have noticed 2 songs in this month’s mix from a band called Darlings. This was one of those rare cases where I had, like, 5 songs from a band and wanted to put them all in the mix, but had to limit myself. Seriously, if you like the 2 tracks in the mix, go to theirspace and check out the other songs, “Eviction Party,” “Yeah I Know,” and the stomper, “If This Is Love.” The L Magazine threw out comparisons to Teenage Fanclub, the Replacements, and Sebadoh, but I don’t hear it, to be honest. All I hear are pure, consummate pop songs, plain and simple– and ain’t nothing wrong with that.

    was lucky enough to catch these guys on a bill with the sundelles a few months back at dead herring. while they didn’t impress much live (sound was bad and wayyy too distorted where the pop melodies had a hard time standing out), i’ve continually gone back to their myspace to listen to their ditties. thx for the mp3, ive been fiending it.
