Civic Jams
“Stuttered and broken beats return but, over a decade on, Darkstar sound obscured and withdrawn”
News from Nowhere
“On their second full length, the London electronic trio continue shapeshifting from a forward-facing Kode9/Hyperdub-approved production crew to pillowy dreampop dudes with genuinely charming and well crafted songs at their disposal.”
Made to Measure - EP
“The London-based electronic duo's latest record was written well before Brexit, but its austere, dystopian murk reflects the deflated, anxious, uncertain national mood of their home.”
North
“Darkstar's full-length debut for Hyperdub finds them working more heavily with vocals and taking a turn toward synth-pop.”
Civic Jams
“For a long time, tackling society and politics in an agonistic way has been the preserve of the singer-songwriter, often confined within the ill-defined genre of folk music. Lately, though, electronic music composers and producers have been picking up the task, making albums that deal with the difficulties of living in the contemporary era, mixing personal and political. Darkstar make no exception”
Foam Island
“Foam Island is a patchwork album that never ends up feeling quite settled.”
Wavelength is the Letterboxd for music.
