You've gotta checkout Darker My Love.

A friend burned me a pre-release copy of their sophomore album 2 last month and I've not given it serious attention until this week. Now I'm addicted.

"Darker My Love is an indie psychedelic rock band based in Los Angeles. The band consists of 5 members. Tim Presley, a former member of the band The Nerve Agents and also a visual artist responsible for much of the band's imagery, contributes vocals and guitar. Andy Granelli, formerly a member of both The Nerve Agents and The Distillers, plays drums. They are accompanied by Rob Barbato, who plays bass and shares lead vocal duties with Presley, and Jared 'The Sandwich' Everett on rhythm guitar. Will Canzoneri joined the band on organ and clavinet in the latter half of 2006. The group's style is often compared to bands such as Can and My Bloody Valentine. Their sophomore album, entitled 2, was released on 5 August 2008 on Dangerbird Records."

Checkout their MySpace to test drive a few songs and watch videos, read this profile/interview on Dangerbird's site, this video of the band performing live on KCRW's Morning Becomes Electric (also posted below), and checkout their blog, which includes tour dates.

They'll be in New York at Terminal 5 on 09.17.08.
