Darsombra Round out 2015 with Weekday Weekender
Baltimore experimental duo Darsombra — not satisfied with the 109 different cities they played across the US earlier this year — are playing three gigs this week, sneaking two more dates in before 2016 hits and then kicking off the New Year in hometown style at The Crown. The two-piece of guitarist Brian Daniloski and synthesist/vocalist/visual artist Ann Everton had noted intent to make a new album after finishing that mammoth, three-leg run, and I see no reason that can’t pan out as noted, but it’s pretty telling of Darsombra as a project that basically wants to do as much as humanly possible all the time that they can’t get out of 2015 without playing just these last couple shows. I dig that. A lot.
Info and whatnot:
Transcendental audio/visual rock duo Darsombra have packed and prepared their shuttle for launch, readying themselves for journey to inner space. Brian Daniloski (a veteran of metal bands Meatjack and Trephine), pilots, navigates, and controls the sound of Darsombra, alternating between searing guitar riffs, leads, loops, mammoth vocal swells, and soundscapes. He takes one part metal, one part psychedelic rock, one part experimental, and dashes of prog, glam, and krautrock, to soundtrack the voyage. Filmmaker Ann Everton joins him on vocals, synthesizer, and percussion, as well as stewarding us along the way by projecting her kinetic, psychotropic videos specifically composed to the music, engulfing the audience within the trip.
Following releases on At A Loss, Public Guilt, Underradar and others, Darsombra worked with Exile On Mainstream for the release of Climax Community in 2012. The three tracks on the LP traverse forty-five minutes of the outfit’s unique, slow-building, organic transcendental rock. Recent tours in the U.S. and Europe have paired Darsombra with Wino, Jucifer, Thrones, Floor, and Stinking Lizaveta.
