The Darcys Pump Up The Pop With New Album 'Centerfold', Out 11/4 Via Arts & Crafts

On November 4, The Darcys will release their new album 'Centerfold' via Arts & Crafts. Once dubbed "pathologically ambitious" by their hometown paper The Toronto Star, the chameleonic art rock group whose past releases range from a full reimagining of Steely Dan's AJA to a 20-minute Southern Gothic-themed instrumental track, has been stripped to its core - the duo of singer/multi-instrumentalist Jason Couse, and drummer/lyricist Wes Marskell - and reborn as a sleek, diamond-hard pop group.

Consequence of Sound premiered the slinky new album track, "San Diego, 1988" today calling it "a glimmering cut that practically begs you to pack up your bags and head west to the sprawling Pacific Coast." Listen here and feel free to post: https://youtu.be/eKMTr3_JTp8

The ten new, original tracks on 'Centerfold', were produced by Shawn Everett (Alabama Shakes, Weezer, Lucius) and evoke the heat and wanderlust of New Zealand and Los Angeles, where they were recorded. 'Centerfold' follows 2013's acclaimed 'Warring', which earned a Juno and Polaris Music Prize nominations. "Miracle", the lead cut from 'Centerfold', has earned praise from Vice Noisey, who said it's "primed for mass consumption," and Complex, who raved the track is a "transformative, radio-ready, near-perfect earworm."

The Darcys will play select dates in Canada in the coming months, sharing a bill with AWOLNATION at Vancouver's Commodore Ballroom before making festival appearances at Sonic Boom, X Fest, and more. Full dates and more info below.
