Darker My Love: “Darker My Love”

(Dangerbird Records)

A nice break from late-to-the-party groovers who can’t bring themselves to admit that they like Sabbath, Darker My Love may not forge anything astoundingly new from their use of Vol. 4 guitar bliss, but coupled with the post-Spacemen-3 opium-den atmospherics familiar to whoever honestly listens to the Warlocks, you’ve got a winner on a not un-massive scale here. A more-serious Arcwelder and/or a less-serious Boris would be similar choices if DML weren’t so well-produced, and the fun part is listening to the ending fadeouts where it takes them forever to get the grungy feedback showers under control. Lots of swirly acid-jamming, as though they’d been tasked with spazzing up the Byrds for a soundtracking of crowd footage during Woodstock and so forth.
