Darkroom: recommended if you like Cool Hand Luke, Thrice (the lighter side), Deas Vail.
New and independent rock band from Winona Lake, Indiana, Darkroom, made a great impression on me at Cornerstone 08 - a good enough impression, live, to cause me to buy their debut album, "A Curious Excavation."
Corey Drake's vocals are smooth and on pitch - at times very soothing and at others powerful and uplifting, at just the right times. Darkroom seems to have already mastered the art of the "build," with darker, softer verses building into awe inspiring climaxes with guitars blazing and vocals soaring high.
Other instruments besides the common include trumpet, bells, trombone, chello, violin, viola, and harmonica. Darkroom is not afraid to experiment with sounds not normally heard on a rock record - and they do so at appropriate times.
The album art is cool too. I'm glad I gave this new band a shot - I hope you do as well.
"Spacious and yet not light on lyrical or music girth, Darkroom twirl the traditional indie benevolence into a non-traditional scrapbook kind of progression. Delicate and fully capable of keeping their ambitious instrumentation in particular moods particularly pertaining to remembrance, A Curious Excavation is just that; a dedicated dig to the core of our ability to cope with those we lost and those we have yet to lose. It's a possibility, a chance at an unattainable perfection; a perfection that's yet to leave my mind since I first discovered it."

"Today I was at my mailbox to pick up all the latest cds that labels so graciously send us. In the pile were cds from Dizmas, Derek Webb, Odd Project, and a cd from a band called "Darkroom". At first look I thought it was going to be some crappy unsigned band with a weird name. Second look, I realized they had some snazzy cd artwork and they wrote a personal handwritten note. So I was like "Oh what the heck, what harm can popping this cd in cause?". Well this cd is far from causing you any harm. It radiates with beauty and creativity. It's a well structured and well orchestrated collection of songs rich in texture. Their cd "A Curious Exacavation" just came out March 31st. This is a band that needs to be heard so please give them a chance today."
