Woah, Darker My Love is headed for a new direction, if this track is any indication. Totally cool with me, I like new directions. Whereas the self-titled full length featured Brain Jonestown Massacre / Committee to Keep Music Evil standards – open tuned guitars, tinty textures, reverb washes, shitton of tambourine – “Two Ways Out” brings the Big Muff distortion coupled with melodic vocals. Instead of Dark My Love continuing in the Dead Meadow and Spacemen 3 trajectory, “Two Ways Out” has a Grandaddy meets Beach Boys feel. The new album is called 2 because, well, it’s the second album (you see what they did there), and descends upon the Earth’s surface next week on Dangerbird Records. The opening track is called “Northern Soul,” and if they’re referencing the sick Verve album, I’ll be totally stoked, dudebro.
Fun fact! Darker My Love’s rhythm guitarist is known as “The Sandwich.” I want a nickname like The Sandwich. Leave your suggestion(s) as a comment below. Don’t be a jerk, though.
