The album is hypnotically beautiful, but the layered, droning songs bleed together into a 40-minute fuzz-fest that struggles to avoid becoming stagnant. Lush vocal harmonies crawl out of the mist and add to the psychedelic vibe, but despite the theft of the Summer of Love’s color pallet, Darker My Love paint a unique (if someone boring) picture. I say somewhat boring because they’re constantly rescuing you from themselves, the pop nature of their sound keeping you from being lulled to sleep by the hypnotic nature of their sound. Taken in small bits the material is more redeeming, so mixtapes are the perfect home for Darker My Love’s lush, Dream Pop-esque take on the 60s. Like Wolfmother’s self-titled album, Darker My Love displays a sort of reverse synergy, invoking that old cliche that there is such a think as too much of a good thing, especially if that “good thing” is throwback rock.

I'll be announcing the winner later today, so look out! Actually, Kate, the album isn’t one of the prizes, just their previous EP, a vinyl single, and a t-shirt.

I gave their EP a 3.0 and it was only four tracks. I’m of a similar opinion, but I would probably have given it a 3.5. I gave their EP a 3.0 and it was only four tracks.

I love this album, but you have to knock it down to a 3 simply because it is so derivative. I am recommending this album to all of my RAWK friends. I couldn’t agree more.
