Evening Darling’s 2017 debut was essentially the best songs of two years of tour setlists, honed on the road in venues all over the Eastern US. But after releasing the full-length album, Erica Lane (vox) and her bandmates were ready to take some time off from gigging and expand the sound that had began to develop on the road.

Scattered across three states, each member devoted time to side and solo projects, but their collective work continued by way of countless voice memos, long distance recording sessions, and singing vocals in coat closets.

“This is probably the one case of an open relationship working out, haha” says Lane. “The time apart got us excited to write music together again. Dave Letchinger (keys) and I indulged in our love of weird synth sounds and moody melodies, and now we have songs being driven by the keys, while the guitars are more focused and featured instead of straight chugging.”

In 2018, the group has finished recording two singles that reflect a firm departure from their once neo-folk roots.
“Our single, Schuyler St, really came into itself through recording. Even though it was a frankenstein production” according to Nick Lerangis (guitar). “Across state lines, Dan Burke (drums) playing in an orchestra hall, Erica singing in my closet; but without the stress of a studio time clock, we could really dig in and do the songs justice.”
After enlisting the indie-expertise of John Agnello (mixing) and Steve Fallone (mastering) for their newest tracks, Evening Darling is now set on a path of soaring synth and glittering guitar riffs.
