Named after a TSOL song, LA’s Darker My Love may feature former Nerve Agents members yet they don’t sound anything like they did in their previous incarnation. On “2” these guys show they have the shoegazer drone down pat. While it may have already been perfected in the past by acts such as Spacemen 3 and My Bloody Valentine, it’s becoming more and more popular again these days thanks to the likes of Silversun Pickups and now Darker My Love.
With some cool psychedelic influences alongside melodic vocal harmonies and an infectious organ, they manage to turn “2” in a very entertaining album that switches seamlessly between Doors-like freakouts (“White Composition”) to sunny psychedelic pop ditties like “Pale Sun” and “Talking Words”.
Not very original yet highly entertaining!
Score: 7 out of 10
