Lovers didn’t get me on the first listen, but I’m glad I went back. The Portland, OR all female trio will be releasing thier synth-heavy new full length called Dark Light on October 12th (via Badman Recording Co). Led by singer Carolyn Berk, the album was recorded at Portland’s beloved Type Foundry studio with Badman label owner Dylan Magierek (Mark Kozelek, Thao Nguyen & Portland Cello Project) and is a great step forward for the trio (that also includes synth-programmer Kerby Ferris and percussionist Emily Klingan).
Check out “Don’t You Want It” (for fans of MNDR, Tegan & Sara meets Cindi Lauper)
