about

Continuing off the mantra of the first Darlings (2010-2015) mixtape, we're winding back the clock even further. Here are 21 songs from the memory banks. Some have been updated for today's standards, but others are as they are. Antiques, if you will. They've likely been left to marinate for far too long. Here you'll find a collection of saucy demos, sketches, funky experiments, and chords that are close to my heart. Each with memories attached.

These songs were made in my college years, a rambunctious time of parties and study. Back then, blog house, french touch, disco, boogie, and yacht vibes permutated my imagination in a big way. Many of these projects were sadly lost to time, save for many exported mp3s that were retrieved in the annals of old dropbox folders, emails, and iPods. What can I say, hard drives were iffy back then.

While many of these are incomplete and lo-fi to a fault, they act as a cassette trip down memory lane. A slightly awkward at times aquarium of growth, love, curiosity, and exploration.
