Guilt Ridden Pop

Darling

The members of Darling are hooligans from the strange and confusing area of the American Midwest known as the Quad Cities. The boys met in high school and christened themselves Darling on the way to a Pink Floyd concert. They have two albums released on Guilt Ridden Pop Records, 1995's Ends in Fantasy and 1998's the Night in Bloom. Their forthcoming album is to be recorded with Alan Sparhawk from Low.

Lazy writer's recipe for Darling - Mix equal parts Codeine, Low and Pink Floyd. Fold in Red House Painters' bassist. Add zest of Layne Staley. Garnish with bittersweet memories, strained relationships and a pinch of odd humor. Puree.
