from “Though I Didn’t Call It Came”
(Crossbill Records)

icon landing page Featured Artist: Dana Falconberry More On This Album

Featured Artist: Dana FalconberryDana Falconberry’s newest release, Though I Didn’t Call It Came, celebrates, explores, and at times laments the vast landscapes in which the songs are set. Touching on themes of childhood curiosity, mortality, and the aching beauty of solitude, the EP’s songs interweave the human experience with the world surrounding it. She guides her listeners down moonlit paths and sandy shores until they are standing right alongside her under the birches, wide-eyed and wondering at the eagles circling overhead.

A Michigan native, Falconberry has thrived musically in Austin, TX, hailed by the Austin Chronicle as one of the city’s “most promising singer-songwriters” and “most arresting female vocalists.” She has captivated audiences with her powerful live shows and haunting recordings, receiving acclaim far beyond the reaches of her hometown. The past few years have found her touring extensively through the US, Europe, and Japan. In 2011, she starred in the critically-lauded music documentary on the Austin music scene, Echotone, which was awarded a New York Times Critics’ Pick. Catch the rest after the jump!

Featured Release: AJA

Three years of struggle, patience and loss. Thorough contemplation and tests of faith. The Darcys persist in 2011-12 with two releases. The first was an original studio album produced by Murray A. Lightburn of The Dears, and featuring 10 hauntingly beautiful songs, meticulously crafted and rich in dynamics and noise. The second and latest is a chilling and unlikely reimagining of Steely Dan’s 1977 classic AJA. These recordings, along with The Darcys’ massive, immaculate live performances, are evidence of a band whose moment has finally arrived. A group strengthened by its time and trials, whose future is built solely on the strength of its ideas and music of genuine depth and substance.
