Reason #473 to love Darsombra — the ability to put out 50 minutes of music and call it a single. 50 minutes, incidentally, is longer than their last full-length, 2019’s Transmission (review here), which was 43. Granted, the forthcoming “maxi-cassingle” is kind of a hodge-podge of things put together to sell on tour — five weeks in Spring is Darsombra doing like they do — but still. They are a band for whom such boundaries and distinctions hold little meaning. That is, as hinted by the number above, only part of their charm.

Also that I have a release of theirs in the Quarterly Review next week and they’re already doing something new. That’s part of it too.

There are dates to fill in here, and I bet if you asked nicely and had a P.A. handy and some cash to compensate their efforts, Darsombra would totally do a set at your house. You know I’ve wanted to ask, especially as a parent trying to raise my child to be the right kind of weirdo.

This came from Bandcamp, and really I’m just happy to have any excuse to write about Darsombra.

So good for me, I guess:

Happy spring from Darsombra!

We say a huge thank you to everyone who made our last six shows in the southeast happen—you all really came through, and it was an absolute pleasure to hit the stage for you again! We are aiming to hit the road AGAIN this spring Hopefully we’ll get to catch up with you somewhere along our journey out west!

What’s a 5-week spring tour without new music to share with you all? We are happy to announce the upcoming release of our new maxi-cassingle, “Call the Doctor/Nightgarden EP”. You may ask, “what’s a maxi-cassingle?” It’s a single—a cassette-only release of last year’s “Call the Doctor/Nightgarden” digital-only EP—plus a little extra, with a 2020 live recording of our 2012 song “Thunder Thighs”, and a new exclusive track titled “Fill Up The Glass”, both on the B-side. It’s a 50+ minute single, on cassette—hence, maxi-cassingle!

We hope to see you this spring!
