Darkness at Noon is the most exciting record to be put out this semester.
-
What is remarkable is the way that they have made a recording that can remain entertaining and engaging, resist becoming background, even while leaving you with the nagging sense that it was about nothing but the act of musical reference itself.

Darkness at Noon thrives on pushing and pulling the listener from emotional peak to valley.
