Darker My Love: "Alive As You Are"

This great band from the west coast has undergone many changes in their sound for the better. They started out really distorted and dark with their first album. The best moments on that album were the lighter ones. With their second album, they went in a direction that had them mixing a 60's rock sound with modern alternative. "Alive As You Are" is their third outing and it shows just how chill their awesome sound could be. It is their most consistent and fun album that captures a west coast vibe. I always feel happy when I hear it. It reminds me of last summer when it came out. So many great melodies here. This is an album that I highly recommend, and one that should be talked about in more circles of rock fans everywhere. Justice is served. I feel like having a Rain Party.
