“I’VE GOT A DECENT HEART,
I’VE GOT A FEW BAD HABITS,
USUALLY COME DOWN HARD,
BUT WHEN I FLY IT’S MAGIC…”
Heartbreakingly honest observations from Van Darien’s latest album. Levee, a 10-song LP colored by moody baritone guitars, swelling pedal steel, thick booming drums, and haunting vocals, beckons a dreamscape of both beauty and darkness.
Van Darien dives deep into her roots and surfaces with empathized portraits of the characters who have shaped her journey. Ranging in metaphor from the fluidity of water to the sturdiness of steel, Levee is a tapestry of deeply human experiences that have been woven together with a combination of heavy emotion and electric tranquility.
