***On March 9th DARK DARK DARK will be releasing the precursor to their forthcoming sophomore full-length in the form of a stunning six-song 12-inch vinyl EP entitled Bright Bright Bright. Hailing from New Orleans, New York and Minneapolis (the latter where they lay their collective hat when not touring Europe or The States) the chamber-folk sextet have yielded a lush and intoxicating follow-up to their 2008 full-length debut The Snow Magic.

On the record, the band moves beyond past-tales of love, heartache and loneliness toward more rewarding and hopeful horizons. As Marshall LaCount explains, "These songs are about new beginnings, and usually have a little triumphant twist in them. The songs are often about a character finding a place or growing in the world in a positive way, and the little exciting and sometimes strange interactions that happen along the way."

Engineered and mixed by legendary Minneapolis producer Tom Herbers (WHY?, Low, Retribution Gospel Choir, The Jayhawks, Fog), Bright Bright Bright finds the band doing more with less. After a successful run opening for the band WHY? last fall, Dark Dark Dark recorded the EP at Sacred Heart Studios, a converted church overlooking Lake Superior.

The band took advantage of the chapel's natural reverb to amplify the power of their live performance.
