Everything Is Alive, Darlingside’s fourth LP, marks a subtle but remarkable departure for the Boston-based quartet NPR once described as “exquisitely arranged, literary minded, baroque folk-pop.” Grappling with change both personal and universal, with quandaries domestic and existential, Everything Is Alive is an album about loss and the struggle for a semblance of redemption.
It’s a rare thing and becoming rarer by the day: a group of musicians with that emulsifying magic to make the whole greater than the sum of its parts. And to see Darlingside perform live is to confirm this special chemistry.
Comprised of Don Mitchell, Auyon Mukharji, Harris Paseltiner and David Senft, Darlingside’s career has been defined by the elegance of their compositions and the unity of their four voices. Their talent for harmony and melodic world-building is part of what garnered praise from outlets like NPR, Rolling Stone and The New Yorker, and what has created demand worldwide for their extraordinary live performances.

“With carefully crafted arrangements [,] polished musicianship and emotional lyrics, Darlingside put a modern twist on the harmony-drenched Sixties folk-rock of CSNY and Simon & Garfunkel.”
Louder Than War
Support from
Memorial
Consisting of songwriters Ollie Spalding and Jack Watts, the Brighton-based folk pop duo’s self-titled debut album showcases the pair at their very best – delicate layers of finger-picked guitars, hushed vocals and harmony executed with laser-focused precision.
Memorial’s debut considers love, longing, friendship and the hope that it brings, delivered in an intimate manner that appeals to the listener as a close confidant.
