Blending traditional folk elements with modern sensibilities.

Note To Self

Ben Howard - I Forget Where We Were

From the self-titled album released on Feb 4 2014

Water Liars - Let It Breathe

The recording of Dark Mean’s debut album began sometime in 2007. It’s now 2011.

During this period band members Mark Dean, Billy Holmes, and Sandy Johnston released two “work in progress” EPs without expectation. Little did they know Frankencottage and Music Box would become the toast of the blogging community, downloaded in over 100 countries, lectured upon by music professors in Brazil, and find the band rousing audiences into massive sing-alongs in cities reaching far beyond the steel cast borders of a hometown, Hamilton, Ontario – all of which motivating the trio as they emerged from the secluded lodgings of Algonquin Park and headed back into the studio, barely aware of the surrounding anticipation for their debut album. 

Dark Mean - Lullaby

Anyone Else (Future Self EP)

Destruction Club

A haunting track that rides the sonic multitudes of indie pop.
