Based in Los Angeles and formed in 2002, Summer Darling began as a three-piece indie pop band with an interest in songwriting and melody. Comprised of vocalist/songwriter Ben Heywood, drummer/guitarist Dan Rossiter and bassist/vocalist Heather Bray, they released the “What’s Done is Done EP” shortly thereafter, handcrafting each CD individually. In 2004 they collaborated with producer Frank Lenz (Pedro the Lion/Richard Swift/Starflyer 59) for the full length record “I Know You, I Never Knew You”|and again released it themselves. The last few years have seen Summer Darling chart a different direction. With the addition of Loop Haro on drums and a more group-oriented approach to song crafting, 2008’s EPs “Health of Others” and “Good Feeling” showcase their complex “Guitarchestra” sound while maintaining their pop sensibility. Their records are now released digitally by Origami Music and independently on vinyl. |
