DARK’s newest contemplative album is an innovative exposition of the “perfect dark.”
As a further exploration of DARK’s first album, dark_2 (out July 29th) attempts to dig deeper into ambient and meditative soundscapes meant to transport listeners into the depths of their own mind. Utilizing pulsing beats and trance-like rhythms, each track on the album feels both incredibly intentional and graceful as each song bleeds into the next with ease. The album “continues the fervorous and ceaseless pursuit of the perfect dark.” In this way, dark_2 attempts to “go deeper” and explore the “unbounded depths of dark.”
These explorations were not in vain as the 9-track record seamlessly transgressed through “circuitous routes and hidden pathways” by using artful sonic layering and meticulously precise ambient guitar. The aura of the album encompasses a “dark ambient, adventurous and deep-listening body of work.” This all-encompassing record serves to encourage listeners to explore different pathways without the need for words. “With layers upon layers of abstract guitar textures that breathe into your ears, dark_2 aims to reveal a door in your mind that helps you escape this reality and put you in a deeper world.”
