Darlingside | "Green Light"

May you see that your God is only human kindness And may you see that the concrete is no less divine than this

[sparrowsfallingfromthesky]

listening to a darlingside concert they did in london in 2022 because they put the audio recording up on patreon and in between songs harris was talking about how he bought a bagel there and both of the people helping him called him "my love" and he was really touched by it and it made him feel a little flustered but really good and I'm like well that's going in a ted lasso fic as soon as I can manage it

Okay but. Have you guys heard Darlingside’s cover of “1979” by The Smashing Pumpkins. because. go listen to it pls

[fantasticait]

Poets who sing a beautiful line like

And the lead paint cracks are breathing in and out

and then a few verses later eclipse it with

And the planes fly boustrophedon in and out

and they can't just do that and not expect me to have this song on repeat for (checks date) an entire week now with no plans to stop.

I mean "boustrophedon"? I was doomed to love it. I can't listen away.

“I’m the same as I was,

Same as I ever will be.

[nonesuchrecords]

Composer/guitarist Yasmin Williams' Nonesuch debut album, Acadia, her most sonically expansive work to date, is out now! You can get it and hear it here.

The album is nine original, mostly instrumental tracks written and produced by Williams, and features her on various guitars, banjo, calabash drum, tap shoes, and kora. She's joined by an eclectic cast of collaborators—including Immanuel Wilkins, Dom Flemons, Aoife O’Donovan, William Tyler, Darlingside, and others—creating a folk music that reflects the wide range of musical influences that have inspired her throughout her life. Songlines calls her “an original, a genuine trailblazer, one of those rare musicians who challenges your preconceptions about the possible.” Stereogum says: "That her spellbinding fretwork is catching such widespread attention is only a consequence of timeless prowess."

the sound quality is pretty bad but this video is the only live recording of the acoustic version of this song i could find and i just really like it and i want it on my blog

Song Review: Yasmin Williams feat. Darlingside and Rich Ruth - “Virga”

An isolated track of Yasmin Williams’ guitar is the best thing that could happen to “Virga.”

Even with Darlingside’s layered vocals - think Lindsey Buckingham’s solo work - and Rich Ruth’s synths, the song is pretty. But it’s also pretty busy and Darlingside and Ruth distract from Williams’ shimmering guitar.

The song announces Williams’ forthcoming (Oct. 4) third LP, Acadia. It’ll be her first to feature vocals and was preceded by “Dawning,” with cameos from Aoife O’Donovan, Kafari and Nic Gareiss.

“Dawning” proves Williams can make the transition. “Virga” illustrates the risks involved.

Grade card: Yasmin Williams feat. Darlingside and Rich Ruth - “Virga” - B-

2023 Year in Review: Favorite Songs

2023 was a great year for music, and I had trouble narrowing down a list of my top 25 favorite songs. In fact, I tried to pare down my Best of 2023 playlist by limiting each artist to a maximum of 2 songs each, but the playlist still has 100 songs. You can listen to them all on Tidal or Spotify below!  I’ve also included links to my Song of the Week posts for 2023 and all of my favorite songs by…

band shirts I would have liked to see Trent Crimm wear

except they're all for my favorite band Darlingside because this is a niche self-indulgent post.

Do I think Trent would listen to a smallish indie folk rock band from New England? I have absolutely no idea. Do I think he would look good in these shirts? Yes. And let's be real, it would make more sense for him to have shirts for a random band than shirts for random Christian schools. so. here we go.

In no particular order, under a cut because I don't know how big the pictures are going to turn out:

Catbird shirt

I just think this art is so fucking cool. And it's a unique shade of orange which I think he would vibe with.

Floral shirt

SUNFLOWERS. okay they aren't actually sunflowers but they kind of look like them and I mean come on!

Equal and Opposite Shape shirt

What can I say, the man should wear more purple.

Tanks

I'm not actually sold on either of these designs for him but I wanted everyone to just take a second to contemplate the concept of Trent in a tank top. Also the fishtank joke is something Ted would say.

Salamander shirt

I don't know why they decided to make a salamander shirt, but it's cute and it's Trent's favorite colors :)

Everything is Alive triangle shirt

He couldn't have actually worn this in the show because it's a new release but I would have DIED to see him wear it after the Amsterdam episode.

Bonus non-Darlingside shirt: Ballroom Thieves Deadeye shirt

I LOVE this album art and we know Trent appreciates a piratey look so he could realistically pick it up, and can you imagine the fandom meltdown if he'd had a conversation with Ted with a SHIP on his CHEST the whole time?!
