Biography

Darlings’ have not disbanded, but took a few seasons off to work on an album that would better reflect their influences, and energies. The album ought to be available in the spring of 2010. An available track that will be on the new album, Teach Me Alchemy, well represents their present direction. This can be found on their myspace. 12/21/09

Darlings’ Cabinet of Sundry Horror are a 3 piece from New Jersey. Most songs are carried by their combination of drum & organ/piano. Think church, think the circus, think a cabaret. Their proposed effect is one of thunder & lightening behind an orotund voice, in a narrative that puts a subject against God before a final juxtaposition that more often than not is a rebuke against the character and his human view of love and spiritual insight. This formula of recondite disclosure is both sincere and sardonic. Their lyrics read like a play, or a prayer. Their influences include older folk/rock gothic outfits like the Bad Seeds, the Violent Femmes, the Cramps, and the work of Tom Waits. An accessible, modern categorization of Darlings’ could put them aside acts like the Horrors or the Dresden Dolls. What may be lost, in review, is this… Darlings’ Cabinet of Sundry Horror is fun. Fun and sexy, and worth a listen. Start with ‘Devils! Prophets! Blind Men! Ghosts!’ or ‘I am the blackest of plagues’ (their singular guitar track).
