Previous astonished accolades from NPR, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Pop Matters, No Depression, and other markets. Previously successful on such radio stations as KEXP and WFMU, plus features on NPR programs Weekend Edition, Hear and Now, and The State of Things. LP housed in gatefold "tip-on" jacket, with download card. Diana Darby's strongest album yet- due to be a major critical comeback. Tours planned to fully support the album throughout the U.S. and Europe. Highlights (in an album completely full of them) include the blissful and chilling "Snow Cover Me" (track #2), the hypnotic "Spinning" (track #4), and alluringly mystical "The Alphabet" (track #9), among others. ++++ Diana Darby's I V (intravenous) is a brand new album of songs that have passed through seven years of fire in a real life, retaining what Pitchfork called "minimal, whispered rendition(s)" of "powerfully fatalistic evaluations of hope."I V follows in the footsteps of three critically acclaimed releases and continues Darby's unique ability to create beautiful and scary confessional tapestries, full of "fine lyrics and stellar arrangements" (Pop Matters). It is sure to reconnect Darby to her loving cult - and entrance an entirely new crowd of noir-folk fans with her deceptively lovely songcraft. Though living in Nashville for the past several years, Darby returned to New York in 2011 to record new songs inspired by a staggering amount of deeply challenging circumstances. Her guitar and vocal tracks were cut live from ferociously focused single takes. Additional instruments and harmonies were added back home. The result is a nuanced, intense, gorgeous full-length album with top-notch studio players (Viktor Krauss, Dan Dugmore, and David Henry) adding to Diana's vision. The rare combination of chillingly evocative musicianship, coupled with Diana's voice and words has produced a fourth album that is an unforgettable psychotropic journey. Let I V slowly drip deep into your veins. "Demonic dreams floating on celestial melodies, the marriage of heaven and hell." - NPR "Darby has an excellent grasp on how to create a mood that envelopes the listener, even as the mood becomes increasingly disturbing." - Rolling Stone ++++ HIGHLIGHTS: Previous astonished accolades from NPR, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Pop Matters, No Depression, and other markets.
