Happy birthday, Mike Hogan!

Happy birthday to everyone's favorite bass playing Hogan brother! 43 today!

Physical copies of "Science Agrees" delayed a month in the US

Amazon.com has updated the US release date for the CD and Vinyl release for June 24th.

This is likely to give the band separate time to promote the album in Europe and in the US.


It appears the full album will still be available on digital May 27th in the US.

"No Need To Argue" to get cranberry colored vinyl release

Interesting release for collectors: 

Pre-order here

It's also available on other websites, but the linked Runt website seems to be the best price. 

Listen to the "Curvy" radio edit

As previously reported, radio stations in Ireland have been playing a radio edit of "Curvy". Follow the link bellow to listen to it yourself (at about the 14:00 mark). Unsurprisingly it edits out the long intro and unfortunately edits out the last two verses. I think they could have been a little more creative in order to get the time down without losing the the final verses.


Listen Here (at the 14 minute mark)

Listen to "Loosen The Noose" now!

Super haunting, I'm blown away by the songs they've shared so far. 

"Loosen The Noose" future youtube link

The same youtube page that posted the first official audio video of Curvy, has uploaded but has not published one for "Loosen The Noose".

Will I be the only one up past midnight refreshing this youtube page?

Listen to another new D.A.R.K. song "Loosen The Noose" tomorrow!

Those that pre-ordered  the album on pledge music will get another free download tomorrow (April 8th), "Loosen The Noose". See Link

No word if it will be available on other services yet (spotify, youtube etc).

Curvy gets a radio edit

Curvy is currently getting airplay on 103.2 Dublin City Radio. On one of their playlists they list the song as clocking in at 3:10, which means a whopping 2:20 is cut from the album version.

Love the album version and looking forward to hearing the (compact) radio version.

Stereo Embers’ TRACK OF THE DAY: D.A.R.K.’s “Curvy”

This looks like it was yesterday's song of the day.

Short review from a writer that actually listened to the track and didn't just cut and paste the press release.


 "“Curvy” is a blast of swirling synths, prowling bass lines and heaving disco loops, all set against O’Riordan’s stirring vocals, which soar through the song with soulful authority. Textured, dark and deliciously hypnotic, “Curvy” is a riveting prelude to one of the most exciting releases of 2016."
