Baltimore-based duo, DARSOMBRA, has been confirmed to join Floor on their upcoming May tour. From May 3rd through the 11th, Floor will headline nine major cities on the East Coast and Midwest, with DARSOMBRA and Hot Victory providing opening support on all dates.
The news comes in while DARSOMBRA remains currently embarked on their most extensive tour to date, with nearly three weeks of their two-month-long voyage of the US remaining, as the band pulls into Denver to perform this evening. Stated the band, from their van, on the ongoing and upcoming tour experiences: “We are truly heartened and inspired by all the awesome bands we’ve played with so far on this tour! It’s the wind in our sails–and we’re really looking forward to our dates with Floor and Hot Victory, for the same reason! See you all soon!”
Following releases through At A Loss Recordings, Public Guilt, Underradar and others, DARSOMBRA signed with Exile On Mainstream for their Climax Community LP in mid-2012. The album traverses forty-five minutes of the outfit’s slow-building, transcendental soundscapes, where searing guitar riffs, leads, loops, and samples, combine to form elements of metal, psychedelic rock, experimental/drone, prog and krautrock. Yet, Climax Community is also where the act transformed from a solo act to a duo and began incorporating immersive visual displays to their auditory experimentation, with mini-films created to accompany the music both on record and during live performances. DARSOMBRA is writing the follow-up LP to Climax Community as well as material for additional releases being slated for later in the year.
