While I’m still surprised that their sophomore album “2” didn’t make them the brightest star in the psych-rock constellation, Darker My Love is back. Today the L.A. quintet announced that its third album “Alive As You Are” will be released on Aug. 17 (via Dangerbird). It was recorded at Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco with Nick Huntington of Freescha. Between the insistent beat and the harmony-saturated chorus, the teaser track “Dear Author” glides straight to your sweet spot. More, please.
