Listening to… Dark Dark Dark (playing at The Space in Hamden Sept. 27)

Dark Dark Dark, Wild Go.
Builds catchy tunes excitingly sideways, with accordions and strings and whatever (I can’t really tell) carrying melodies while vocals and organ sound grow into cascading waterfalls of sound—then, just as quickly, dry up, leaving the sweet vocals and frisky-weird keyboards alone. Alternately sensitive and silly, and brilliant at both. I want to see this band live. More than that, I want to see this band live in a German cabaret at the turn of the last century.
