The Keep Out 7″ attempts to characterize the inner dilemma and turmoil of which life invariably consists. White is Night is a song of self-reflection in the brightest night of winter. It simplifies all the things that bring you down into the dirt beneath your shoes and the awareness of all that’s really important. Mako Sica explores the thought that life can turn on a dime. Lush green grass can abruptly change to barren earth and the brightest blue sky can turn ashen gray. Its the idea of remaining vigilant and the inability to stay inside.

Garage-rock rave-ups and sparkling pop with sharp lyrical left turns, motorik 4-on-the-floor post-punk beats recalling smart-rockers like the Sea and Cake, The Jam, XTC, REM’s ‘Chronic Town’. Brittle beauty and gleeful abandon with a punch-drunk factory rhythm section.

Staring into tears of heartbreak, loss, mythological hallucinations, and war torn landscapes, the Singleman Affair continues upon their path of downer folk and psychedelic melancholy, preying upon their familiar cohort of influences, Fred Neil, Nick Drake, Skip Spence, and John Martyn, crafting their very own sonic landscapes and vision. Unveiling a dynamic shift from the Alan Mcgee released “Let’s Kill the Summer” and its lo-fi bedroom recordings, “Silhouettes at Dawn” is a lush orchestrated arrangement, accented by diverse instrumentation bringing to mind Love’s “Forever Changes”, Leonard Cohen’s “New Skin For The Old Ceremony”, Fairport convention’s “Liege and Lief” or Nick Drake’s “5 Leaves Left.”

Darling’s first full-length record is about licking your paws and moving on. From start to finish, it’s about knowing where you are in life and what’s important. Lights that last forever are the people and ideas that matter most and will guide you as you age. As Darling matures, the pop grows (of Montreal, the Cars) as much as their guitar attack warbles and clangs (Television, Neil Young). The album starts at an uncomfortable moment in life and progresses to a new beginning and a renewed appreciation for life around you. You can hear old memories fade away and new ones begin, starting with a heart attack and ending with a gathering of hope. This record combines the wistful melancholy and shimmering joy of the last two EPs into a complete story.

Racehorse is a midway point for the Singleman Affair. It captures the ache, the homespun spirit of “Let’s Kill the Summer” and the new adventurous songwriting of the new Singleman Affair, hinting at the glory of the upcoming “Silhouettes at Dawn” LP due later this year. Dusty arpeggios from lingering afternoons, downtempo dirge for sunspots and spiderwebs. Handmade cd’s with an amazing cover from Katy Collier.

The Singleman Affair’s homespun folk dons a jetpack and some fancy new duds (no pun intended). This new EP captures the Singleman Affair live in late 2009, transitioning into a propulsive quartet. Drummer Don Ogilvie (Pedal Steel Transmission, Darling) gets some proper help from stand-up bassist Toby Summerfield (Crush Kill Destroy, Algernon), bringing some fierce collective spirit to some new and old tunes. The small group leavesa lot of room for Jacob Smith’s keys to shine, and Dan’sguitar rings out. Thanks to Dan Mohr for the excellent recording, and Brett Barton for mastering. This was gonna be a tour only cd, but we couldn’t resist.
