Who Needs Who, the new album by Dark Dark Dark, is a stirring and rich body of songs that sees the band breaking ground, and settling into the strengths of a quintet that has worked incredibly hard, both on the road and in their personal lives. The band's commitment to their music has proven to be a double-edged sword. The first single, Tell Me, finds Dark Dark Dark setting a new tone for avant-g arde pop. The beat is up, the drums and bass propel the song, and Nona Marie Invie's voice soars between impassioned yearning and a resigned, empowered hope that reveals wisdom. Most of the material on Who Needs Who was written by Invie in Minneapolis, and arranged by the band on tour and in New Orleans, where acclaimed engineer Tom Herbers joined them to record. The recordings are as dynamic as their schedules, the places they choose to work, and their friendships. In some ways, it is a wonder they exist at all. It's no minor detail that Nona and Marshall LaCount, Dark Dark Dark's co-founder and producer, were in a serious relationship that ended in early 2011, with a year solid of touring commitments ahead of them. On “Meet In The Dark”, Nona sings, “You want everything to stay the same, and then things change, but I'll never get tired of singing these songs, no I'll never get tired of singing these songs.” Despite increased tensions and heated arguments, the band showed immense patience and commitment to the music and their friendships. Ultimately, a five month hiatus at the end of 2011 and early 2012 allowed the band to heal, reflect and refocus. When the band reconvened in New Orleans for rehearsals, the initial awkwardness gave way to the creation of some of their most beautiful, revealing work to date. "Many of these songs are about understanding and accepting the nuances of my emotions. The obvious parts and the dark parts. There are times when it's important to quit fantasizing and face the truth about what is happening,” says Invie. Who Needs Who is ultimately refreshing and rewarding, and marks the beginning of a bold and promising chapter for Dark Dark Dark. Since their last full length, 2010's Wild Go, the band has toured extensively in the US and Europe, enjoying sold out shows, national radio appearances, and support dates for bands like The National and Low. They've had TV placements on Grey's Anatomy, Parks and Recreation, and American Idol, and their appearance on the UK's Live From Abbey Road was a highlight of the season. Dark Dark Dark will have a full US tour to support the release of Who Needs Who, followed by shows in Australia and Europe. Who Needs Who is released October 2nd, 2012 on Supply & Demand Music in the US, October 1st on Melodic in the UK and Europe.

The Snow Magic
Ashes On that evening No later than nine You called out for me And heard no reply You found me under the willow tree Cut me down and tried to catch me But I fell into the river deep Ain't nothing more to do But just let things be I know you want to scatter my ashes I know you want to scatter them far and wide Don't scatter my ashes I want to walk by the seaside Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin My lonely body washed ashore Red ring around my leg shows I can't take it no more Don't ask no one my soul to keep Ain't nothing more to do but just let things be I know you want to scatter my ashes I know you want to scatter them far and wide Don't scatter my ashes I want to walk by the seaside And you might cover me with Sand and empty rocks That might mean if you must She won't wake up words That come to rest for you are still breathing You are still breathing You might get second thoughts And want to throw me to the sky That's okay, people you're wrong 'Cause you know that what's left of me Is already gone Is already gone It's already gone I know you want to scatter my ashes I know you want to scatter them far and wite Don't scatter my ashes I want to walk by the seaside Benefit Of The Doubt On your final day Did you think of me And did I get the benefit The benefit of the doubt On my dying day, I will change my ways Yeah, I'll stop all this wandering around, dear I will stop all this wandering around Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin I heard you were gone, heard that you'd left Heard that getting some sleep would suit me that I'm no more to grieve for you But it's easier said than done, I say 'Cause your god damn ghost'll make me run all day I can't keep away from you There's no more, more than calling on you 'Cause those old numbers, they don't reach That place that you were going And you never left no new ones There's no more, more than asking about you 'Cause the new key don't travel that same old way Since you have moved along When the hair stands up on the back of my neck It's your god damn ghost and that's what I suspect No, I can't keep away from you I've known your phantom ways, you can walk through walls And see all the little things that I do wrong No, I can't keep away from you Did I get the benefit The benefit of the doubt I'm more to grieve for you I can't keep away from you I'm no more to grieve for you And I can't keep away from you A Cloud Story Let me tell you of a dream I had Sweating one late summer's night I couldn't believe what I was seeing From where I lay inside When I awoke from my slumber I couldn't believe my eyes When I awoke from my sleep The clouds had fallen from the sky When I awoke from my slumber I couldn't believe my eyes When I awoke from my sleep The clouds had fallen from the sky As if whales had poured from the sea It seemed the clouds poured from the sky And laid on the beach so breathlessly And patiently waited to die Now the air, it sticks The air, it sweats The air, it blocks all the light The air looks like it did in my dreams As I lay in bed that night As if whales had poured from the sea It seemed the clouds had poured from the sky And laid upon the beach so breathlessly And patiently waited to die Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin Everyone's asking around About a beautiful world they knew Me, I just look toward the ground And the clouds cover my shoe When I awoke from my slumber I couldn't believe my eyes When I awoke from my sleep The clouds had fallen from the sky When I awoke from my slumber I couldn't believe my eyes When I awoke from my sleep The clouds had fallen from the sky Colours Though, salted wind that you walk into You're back and forth like water underneath the moon And where did you, you pick up those songs You're walking and you've brought a bit too much along Inspect the souls on those old wood The nights have been your likely to change too soon Which town do you like the best It's too bad there's no ocean in Minneapolis Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin I'd like to show you this electric sea And I'll sing an infinite electrified scream A shrill shiver shrieks in my sweater of red The most brilliant cerulean around your head When I walk up you say hello The most simple-mending, heart-bending Glimmer-gleam, pulse-fast-sending yellow Oh orange, it must have glowed orange And it burns my eyes Dig A Grave Dig a grave, a grave, a grave for my friend I will lay thee in A grave, a grave, a grave for my friend I will lay thee in We've been living so long in the same place You will go underground Have no fear my darling friend My memory of you is sound Your ghost can stop and knock on my door I surely would open it up Your ghost could stop and stay for a round I would truly be living it up Dig a grave, a grave, a grave for my kin I will lay thee in A grave, a grave, a grave for my kin I will lay thee in Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin We've been living so long in the same place You will go underground Have no fear my darling friend I'm trust that you will be around Your ghost can stop and knock on my door I surely would open it up Your ghost could stop and stay for a round I would truly be living it up Dig a grave, a grave, a grave for my skin I will lay me in A grave, a grave, a grave for my skin I will lay me in My ghost could stop and knock your door I hope you would open it up My ghost could stop and stay for a round I truly be living it up
