An Evening with Darlingside

Darlingside’s fourth album, Everything Is Alive, marks a shift for the Boston-based quartet known for their “baroque folk-pop” sound. While the album retains the lushness of previous works, it uniquely highlights the individual voices of the four members—a new direction for a band famous for their vocal harmonies. The album explores themes of loss and redemption.

Formed by Don Mitchell, Auyon Mukharji, Harris Paseltiner, and David Senft at Williams College in 2009, Darlingside has been praised by NPR, Rolling Stone, and The New Yorker for their harmonic and melodic skills. Their collaborative songwriting process has traditionally emphasized unity and harmony.

Produced and recorded by the band and mixed by Tucker Martine, Everything Is Alive takes a risk by emphasizing individual contributions, reflecting the personal and universal changes experienced during the pandemic. The album features intricate harmonies and rich instrumentation, from the a cappella “How Long Again” to the textured “Baking Soda” and the emotional “Lose The Keys.”

Continuing themes from their 2020 album Fish Pond Fish, Everything Is Alive delves into the challenges of prolonged isolation and the quest for freedom and redemption. The album’s imagery and lyrical content reflect this introspective journey, exploring themes of despair and hope.

With Senft stepping back from touring, Darlingside’s live performances will feature a new lineup, showcasing their ability to adapt and evolve. Everything Is Alive signifies a bold and intimate chapter in Darlingside’s musical journey.
