Event Description
Darlingside with special guests Frail Talk
DARLINGSIDE
In their fourth LP, Everything Is Alive (2023), Darlingside marks a subtle but remarkable departure for the Boston-based group NPR once described as “exquisitely arranged, literary minded, baroque folk-pop.” While the album retains much of the lushness and sophistication of past albums, the band’s latest work decisively exposes and differentiates the individual voices of the band’s songwriters—a daring reinvention for a group known for ubiquitous vocal harmonies.
Comprised of Don Mitchell, Auyon Mukharji and Harris Paseltiner, these like minded multi-instrumentalists who first met at Williams College in 2009, Darlingside’s career has been defined by the elegance of their compositions and the unity of their voices. Their talent for harmony and melodic world-building is part of what garnered praise from outlets like NPR, Rolling Stone and The New Yorker, and what has created demand worldwide for their extraordinary live performances.
FRAIL TALK
Formed in the foothills of Northern Colorado in early 2020, Alex Woodchek and Cor Wright of Frail Talk create a blooming universe of squiggly indie music for squiggly people. Like the kind surprise of a backyard garden, their songs spring up from the dirt with folk roots, soft pop colors, and burgeoning lyricism ready to welcome every listener with daydream-love. Frail Talk released their sophomore album, Microspirit in Aug 2024.
