THE DARLING FIRE 'DISTORTIONS' LP
LABEL: Iodine
ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE: 2022
VARIANT: Vinyl LP
"This place is a monument to my broken soul.â
After enduring the crushing sorrow of loss and grief, The Darling Fire return with their sophomore release. âDistortionsâ is a dark and pensive journey in ten compositions that transcends both beauty and pain, seamlessly combining elements of shoegaze, post-hardcore, and metal. Ghostly female vocals float above a pounding wall of sound, sewn together with vast atmospheric waves. Bleak, somber, and enchanting. Most will find âDistortionsâ to be a significant departure from their previous LP âDark Celebrationâ as this recording is much more abrasive, gloomy, and broodingâmore metal influenced than indie. The band felt that this new aggressive sound more accurately portrayed the sadness, rage, and pain they felt and that it seamlessly balanced with the hypnotizing softness of Jolieâs vocals. The outcome was an amalgamation of something beautiful, austere, and cathartic. It combines the haunting chills of My Bloody Valentine and the heaviness of Deftones. The band allowed themselves to feel unconstrained while writing this album without having to force these songs to adhere to one genre or sound. âIt felt like a natural evolution for us to go in this directionâto create more movementâŠâ says Jolie Lindholm.
