It can be difficult to communicate pain without sounding despairing. Dark Little Rooms beautifully navigates its turbulent and lovelorn music, promising hope through the bruises.
Bio / Background
Foolish Beauty is the first full length release from Dark Little Rooms.
Dark Little Rooms is the song writing vehicle of Scott Crowder. From 2001-2005 Crowder and band alternated between writing, recording and playing shows with the likes of Stellastarr*, French Kicks, Smog & Denali.
Heavily inspired by the reissue only label, Numero Group, Bruce Springsteen's "Nebraska" and the posthumous release of Jeff Buckley’s “My Sweetheart The Drunk”, Crowder set off to present his latest work of home recordings to a larger audience and enlisted the talents of Jeff Lipton at Peerless Mastering to best capture and present the albums sessions.
All sessions were recorded on a Tascam 388 8 track recorder in the various apartments and homes that Crowder lived in while he and his wife called Richmond, VA home.
The album is the second release from Blind Sea Records.
↓ more ↓From the UK blog THE DEVIL HAS THE BEST TUNA,
"With Crowder's husky, flexible voice and their brooding, moody piano lead glum rock, Dark Little Rooms could be the ultimate in tribute bands as they manage to sound like Coldplay ('In Love and Trouble'), Elbow and Keane, Ocean Rain era Echo and the Bunnymen ('Nothing I Wouldn't Do'), 1990s era U2 ('Didn't I Say I Was Young'), Richard Hawley('Wave Goodbye') and Nick Cave without ever appearing like a mere musical photocopier.
Listening to Dark Little Rooms is like being the parish priest hearing the confessions of the lost, the lonely and the clinically depressed. This is music to listen to alone at night after you've just lost your job, you've drank a couple of bottles of Vodka, your lover has left you for a much younger model, and you put everything on black and it came up red. It won't cheer you up but it may make you realize that there are people even more depressed than you. Listen to Dark Little rooms they may just save your life."
From another recent review...
"Dark Little Rooms 2003 self-released eponymous CD was an impressive piano-driven album featuring the soulful vocals of Scott Crowder. Three years later, Crowder is back with a solo album that is a slight departure from Dark Little Rooms but it does not completely break away from the blue eyed soul sound. Foolish Beauty is a hauntingly beautiful effort that blends a modern electronic influenced sound with spiritual vocals full of pain, longing, and regret. ‘Devotion Song’ and ‘Nothing I Wouldn’t Do’ definitely stand out as the album’s best tracks and draw comparisons to U2 and Tom Waits." Tony Doug Wright, Erasing Clouds
