Darlia have announced the details of their new EP ‘Candyman‘, out next month.
The lead and title track is streaming over on Soundcloud (below) ahead of the EP’s release through B-Unique Records on March 31st. “Music is a bit like a card trick,” says Darlia’s Nathan Day says.
“You can make flames shoot from your hands or pull doves from a hat, but it’s just a gimmick. Everyone knows it’s a trick and they soon get bored of it. I prefer those simple close-up tricks that maybe aren’t as flashy, but they’re harder to do and keep people interested for much longer.”
After their maiden headline tour of the UK was completed in January, Darlia have further live commitments booked for the coming months; they play shows at the Manchester Sound Control on March 28th, the Unit in Southampton a day later, the Cellar in Oxford on March 31st and London’s Water Rats on the first day of April before visits to Live At Leeds and Liverpool Sound City in May.
