Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut album from the super-duo of Efrim Manuel Menuck (Godspeed You! Black Emperor) and Ariel Engle (La Force). 'Darling The Dawn' is a monumental and atmospheric work, blending Menuck's signature long-form, droning post-rock soundscapes with Engle's soaring and ethereal vocals. The album consists of several vast, interconnected pieces that are at once beautiful, heavy, and deeply immersive.
