Of all the albums coming out this summer, one of the few we’re completely excited about is the sophomore effort from Darker My Love. Simply titled 2, it will hit stores on August 5 via Dangerbird Records. The new tunes were produced by Dave Cooley, who was also the man behind Silversun Pickups’ Carnavas. Their fuzzed out pop fits perfectly with the Dandy Warhols, making them ideal touring partners. The Dandy/Darker My Love tour will kick off on September 9 in Minneapolis, but beforehand the band is launching a series of San Francisco & Los Angeles residencies in July.
Although we enjoyed Darker My Love’s debut, 2 is going to be the record that puts them on the indie rock map… and beyond. Make sure you catch them at one of their upcoming dates, as we’ve got a hunch that 2008 is going to be a great year for the band. You can get a sample of the new track “Blue Day” by clicking here.
