Paradise Yard

On September 13th 2019 we released 'The Noise Is Unrest': an album of echoey musical landscapes to lose yourself in, on a journey that’s over three hours and twenty minutes long. Here, for when that journey's inaccessible, an audio postcard, created to be exactly 1/60th as long. 

Based on 'Serene / Never The Same Way Once' from the album 'The Noise Is Unrest'. 
https://darkroomtheband.bandcamp.com/album/the-noise-is-unrest 

Recorded at Serene at The Gunners, London N5, 21st March 2015.

Heavily edited, mixed, produced and mastered by Darkroom

Michael Bearpark - guitar, pedals

Serenade

Guitar but not guitar; synthesizers but not keyboards – Darkroom’s music starts with improvisation and a distinctive approach to sound design, followed by disciplined editing and stop-motion studio craft. By turns beautiful and beautifully ugly, theirs is a very human music that always sounds ‘played’ not ‘programmed’, despite the technology that's essential for producing it.
