Darlingside

If you like Tall Heights, I'm With Her, Peter Bradley Adams...

Darlingside’s career has been defined by the elegance of their compositions and the unity of their four voices. Their talent for harmony and melodic world-building is part of what garnered praise from outlets like NPR, and what has created demand worldwide for their extraordinary live performances. “Everything Is Alive,” Darlingside’s fourth LP, marks a subtle but remarkable departure for the Boston-based quartet NPR once described as “exquisitely arranged, literary minded, baroque folk-pop.” While the album retains much of the lushness and sophistication of “Extralife (2018)” and “Fish Pond Fish (2020),” the band’s latest work decisively exposes and differentiates the individual voices of the four songwriters—a daring reinvention for a group known for ubiquitous vocal harmonies.
