The Darlings are from New York. The quartet just jumped out of a time machine, carrying nothing but their instruments and a timeless formula for fun rock and roll. Their songs are short, upbeat romps through innocent fields ripe with parties, girls and beer. Everything sounds just a little fuzzy, and if you close your eyes you can take yourself back to a kick ass house party or garage concert and imagine that these guys are playing and everyone is having an awesome time.
They are reminiscent of a lot of bands, a mash up of 60s fuzz-rock, some lost indie rockers circa 1986, and a hint of newer groups like the Strokes and their ilk.
This song "Eviction Party" is one of my favorites, and fairly representative of the album as a whole. This is not one of those projects where you need to skip songs. You can put it in and let it ride. Definitely a crucial piece of fodder for roadtrip mixes.
