villagerrr + DARI BAY

Doors 7 / Music 8

villagerrr: Nothing's as scary or sweet in this world than opening yourself up to a genuine connection with another person. Carousel, the fifth album Mark Scott has released as villagerrr, spills over with these wholehearted leaps of faith. His big, midwestern songs smolder with a desire to find enduring meaning in an era rife with commodification, surveillance, and general instability.

Dari Bay: Dari Bay has already been many things. Since first launching the band, Zachary James and his friends have used Dari Bay to explore free-for-all experimentation, shape-shifting from project to project before slowly cohering into a vehicle for James’ most direct and personal songwriting.
