Dark Dark Dark Share New Song Off Who Needs Who, Out Oct. 2nd

Minneapolis/New Orleans-based quintet Dark Dark Dark has overcome a lot: Inter-band turmoil in the face of seemingly endless touring, being split between two cities, to name a few. Every strain is heard in every refrain of the new song "How It Went Down," projected by the powerful, dancing voice of Nona Marie Invie. Written by producer/banjo & clarinet-player Marshall LaCount, it doesn't take a cryptographer to understand what was going on when he wrote this song. His relationship with Nona was growing apart, rationalizations of how to move forward buzzing through his head. Melancholy can be a middle-of-the-road word, but in "How It Went Down," it's a vibrant notion, equal parts crushing and inspiring. The song was premiered on Pitchfork earlier today.

LISTEN TO "HOW IT WENT DOWN" HERE: http://soundcloud.com/supplyanddemand/darkdarkdark-howitwentdown

"It's an age-old scene in a film: two perfectly manicured hands clasp each other spontaneously, and their owners sprint out of a gilded ballroom, a mass of skirts and untucked shirts, into a rainy street. 'Anywhere but here, let's get the hell out of this mad facsimile of real life and go and live for real.' Even though it's not a surprise that those stories never work out, something about the second song to be released from Dark Dark Dark's new album, Who Needs Who (out October 2 via Supply and Demand), makes it feel like Nona Marie Invie is proposing the idea to you for the very first time, ever. Although 'the fluorescent lights can't change a thing,' the graceful piano and softly splashing drums make it feel like a possibility." - Laura Snapes, Pitchfork
