SATURDAY | STAGE 1
Over their history, the Massachusetts-based quartet Darlingside have cultivated serious, cinematic, and deeply moving music, incorporating churning guitars and lyrics full of complex internal rhymes. Subtle musical shadings take cues from 60s folk, chamber pop, bluegrass, classical music, and modern indie rock, while aching harmonies are complemented by tones from the harmonium, frailing banjo, 12-string electric guitar, Wurlitzer, auto-chord organ, and grand piano. The result is a collection of quietly passionate songs that defy easy categorization.
