Biography

Los Angeles, United States (2005 – present)

Darker My Love is a rock band based in Los Angeles, California. The band consists of 5 members. Tim Presley, a former member of the band The Nerve Agents and also a visual artist responsible for much of the band’s imagery, contributes vocals and guitar. Andy Granelli, formerly a member of both The Nerve Agents and The Distillers, plays drums. They are accompanied by Rob Barbato, who plays bass and shares lead vocal duties with Presley, and Jared “The Sandwich” Everett on rhythm guitar. Will Canzoneri joined the band on organ and clavinet in the latter half of 2006. The group’s style is often compared to bands such as Can and My Bloody Valentine.

The band has released two EP’s and one LP. Recorded in 2005, their debut LP was released on 22 August 2006 on Dangerbird Records. On 28 August 2007, the band released a 12” 45 rpm split record with Denver-based rock group Moccasin. Darker My Love’s contribution is a song called “Hair Decisions,” which was recorded at San Francisco’s Hyde Street Studios in October 2006. The record was the first release on L.A.-based label IHATEROCKNROLL. In Spring 2006, Presley and Barbato became members of Manchester (U.K.)-based group The Fall, and are both featured prominently on The Fall’s 2007 album, Reformation Post TLC. Their sophomore album, entitled 2, was released on 5 August 2008 on Dangerbird Records.

    I came over the self titled album at a record store in Boston when this guy told me it was by Darker My Love and that he was friends/ex-friends with the vocalist and he saw them opening for The Dandy Warhols one time. When I asked him if the album was any good he said he had no idea since he had never listened to them.

    I really thought these guys were going to be big. Turns out Tim's other gig white fence (which is also great) got more love all round. Alive as you are is underrated. It's a more clean full band version of what white fence do. Minus all the abstract parts and Lo-Fi sound i guess..

    I think all three albums are killer. I don't understand the hate Alive As You Are gets. That whole album feels amazing (ala Grateful Dead) and the vocals are absolutely beautiful (especially on Rain Party and June Bloom).

    Wow, what the hell happened? Amazing debut followed-up by two disappointments.
