Darkwave band Dark Narrows is a transcontinental U.S. collaboration between Baltimore, Maryland-based Dan Narrows (vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards, drums) and Dan Rohaus (vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards, drums) and San Francisco, California-located Ben Malone (lyrics, spoken word). The band delivered its self-titled debut album in April 2015 and has just unveiled its sophomore platter, The Red Moon, on May 16th.
The band members had decided that The Red Moon would be a tribute to some of their favorite New Wave and electro-goth acts of the 1980s and they utilized drum machines and synthesizers that recall the glory days of The Sisters of Mercy, The Cure, New Order, and Depeche Mode.
Dark Narrows also brought James Aparicio (mixer, engineer, producer) on board to mix the album. With Aparicio, the band was able to preserve its past sound while developing in new directions on The Red Moon.
The 7-song album is available on Dark Narrows’ Bandcamp site, iTunes, Amazon, and GooglePlay.
