Darlington Pair (fomerly Space Program)

About Me

Space Program is now Darlington Pair, times and attitudes about recording and songwriting have changed, we still love the old stuff and we are going to keep it around but it is time for a new name and direction. A more laid back and delicate version of Space Program.
Darlington Pair is Wavley M Groves III, Josh Smith, and John Brown. Radio Astronomy technician's all consuming quest for the perfect sound in off time from building telescopes under microscopes. The sound of constant second guessing and tinkering with soldering irons. Members of Explorer 1, Towering Heroes of Grenada, Modern, Glenn Branca and Rhys Chatham alumni.
Recorded in a country basement studio. All reverb is natural from a cistern echo chamber. All electronics lovingly maintained in house.
"Space Program" full length "Darlington Pair" and "The Stars Mock Us" E.P.'s now available. We run our own D.I.Y. label with hand copied and made cd's and artwork... Planetoid Records
