Here are some reviews of our sold out EP which was out on WeePop records...
Retrolofi says: "First up, you’ve got “Emily”, which is really the type f pop song that would be number one in seventy-eight countries for forty-three weeks in a perfect world. An indisputable girl-pop masterpiece that lands somewhere between the perfectly self-deprecating writings of Kirsty Macoll and the effortless proto-twee melodies of the best Twa Toots songs. This unbelievable oughta-be hit is followed up by what stands as the best AC/DC cover I’ve ever heard in my life. Yessir, The Darlings turn in a finely downtrodden reworking of “You Shook Me All Night Long” that seemingly places the lyrical emphasis on the morning after a conquest and not the bravado of just getting laid that permeated the original barroom standard. Not that there’s anything wrong with the original, but… wow. The whole damned EP sounds effortless and literally asks you politely to play it over and over again. If I don’t get to hear a whole album by The Darlings soon, I might just explode.
And Foggy Ruins of Time says: "I’m in love with The Darlings. I’ll get that out now. When I first heard the songs off their myspace, the mail couldn’t come fast enough. “Emily” is pure, addictive and hilarious. I haven’t laughed as much listening to song in awhile. Sort-of a revenge at the girl next in line, it’s too funny to be offended by yet wittingly perfect. Probably my favorite release from Wee Pop! Records so far, The Darlings Photo EP will soothe you, make you laugh, smile and shake you until you’re thoroughly hooked."
We decided today to have concerts on our rooftop. This is a brand new song called Dear Stephen Hawking. Who knows what's going to happen to it! I hope you like it
Here's Bart and I playing in Edinburgh on Good Friday!
