Lovely Dark is a band from Minneapolis who is influenced by psych folk, and indie rock. This song is from their forthcoming album "New Born." This is their third full-length and it features a heavier, more orchestrated sound with songs focusing upon the commonality of science, myth and religion. 

The Wheel

On their new album Into the Roil, Lovely Dark blends roaring, anthemic indie pop with the organic, world-influenced soundscapes of modern psychedelic folk rock.

Male and female vocal harmonies swirl over a haunted landscape of dual percussion and shimmering guitar hooks, delivering songs of expansive reach and depth with moments of pure, explosive pop. Having garnered comparisons to The National, Florence + The Machine, Midlake, Fleetwood Mac and Fairport Convention, Lovely Dark pulls from countless musical sources, and have been praised for their unique sound: “a mystique that makes for enormously compelling, chills-up-the-spine listening.” (l'Etoile Magazine). 

Lovely Dark is a six-piece hailing from the likes of acclaimed local acts self-evident, Buildings, Spaghetti Western String Co, and Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo. Piloted by the songwriting of husband-and-wife Travis and Sonia Even, Into the Roil revisits the potent man-versus-nature mythos that dominated their debut album Territories, while laying bare more personal subject matter previously unexplored. Into the Roil captures the spirit of their bombastic live sound, having been recorded in a single weekend at Crazy Beast Studio (Andrew Bird, Dosh, Roma di Luna).
