The L.A. based psych-rock quartet Darker My Love formed in 2001. After a string of opening dates for the Kills, the Warlocks, and Icarus Line, the band recorded a three-song EP released in early 2006. Early praise called attention to singer Tim Presley's melancholic vocals reminiscent of Robert Smith. A self-titled debut disc full of fuzz and trippy distortion followed later the same year on Dangerbird Records. In 2008 the band released their second album, 2, taking their sound to darker and fuzzier places. Their third album, Alive as You Are, was released in 2010. ~ Tammy La Gorce
