Tennessee’s Those Darlins bring a lot of ’tude with the punk-rock twang on their sophomore album “Screws Get Loose,” but it turns out Jessi, Kelley and Nikki Darlin (who conspire with their long-ago rock ’n’ roll camp counselor Linwood Regensburg) have a fascination with all things mystical too, in a Spector sort of way. “Mystic Mind,” the second song the quartet is offering as a free download, is just haunting enough to have contended for last weekend’s Halloween’s playlist, with a bright guitar riff that peeks out of the dark undertones. There is a droning lull that drastically contrasts with the title track, but as the title suggests, the song is more about about mystique as they sing about zodiacs, spirituality and a “third eye.” Those Darlins may be wild and free-wheelin’ most of the time, but they also know how to slow down for a nice groove.
