• Dark Mean - Happy Banjo

Dark Mean started recording their first album in 2007 and they recently released it last month. Four years of devotion is extraordinary. Hailing from Hamilton, Canada, Mark Dean, Billy Holmes, and Sandy Johnston endured obstacles and challenges to persevere. With devotion, the result was an album they could be proud of and one that we can enjoy. Mark's vocals remind me a little of David McMillan and coupled with the banjo, I have been thoroughly enjoying Happy Banjo since it was sent in. You can enjoy the music video above or just stream it below. The [...]

• Dark Mean - Happy Banjo

Три канадских парня, объединённые названием Dark Mean , работали над дебютным альбомом с самого 2007 года, живя в постоянной записи, гастролях, приключениях, преодолевая при этом все возможные препятствия, с которыми может столкнуться группа. Они выпускали короткометражки с промежуточным материалом, работали с приглашёнными музыкантами и, наконец, пришли к своей заветной цели. Как и следует из всего сказанного выше, запись получилась действительно выдержанной временем, каждая песня звучит выстраданной, каждая из них была записана в нескольких вариантах, объединившихся в один цельный альбом « Dark Mean ». Это фолк музыка, немного эмбиента и большое дружеское чувство, сродни тому, что исходит от команд вроде [...]

I've said it before a time or ten, but it bears repeating: some of the best indie rock comes from Canada. Maybe it's the maple syrup, maybe it's the Tim Hortons, but real talent grows there. Today we'd like to introduce you to Dark Mean , a Hamilton based three-piece who are taking pure indie rock to new heights by folking it up good and proper. From their newly released (and four years in the making) self-titled debut album, "Happy Banjo" features a bit of an understated rhythm section entwined with steel guitar [...]

die neuvorstellungen fangen alle letztlich gleich an. hier ein paar worte zur musik, dort vielleicht zum künstler selbst, bio-, ergänzend die discographie. und dann? dann wird es für den gegenüber, den leser relativ einfach. er kann entscheiden, ob er das geschriebene in auditives transferiert wissen will. eine angelegenheit von sekunden, da man lediglich die playtaste benutzen muss. doch es bleibt eine lücke, etwas unausgefülltes. die musikjournaille nennt das eventuell verortung, zumindest wagt sie regelmäßig den blick in die zeitgeschichte. dem hobbyschreiberling ist das natürlich nicht versagt, aber er zeigt sich wesentlich verzagter und rüttelt seltener an den porzellanthrönchen, auf denen [...]

by teepoo Hamilton's Dark Mean finally releases their debut album that they had began in 2007. The physical version will be available June 14th but you can grab it on Bandcamp . The album features a mix of both the slow, relaxed tracks such as Music Box to the more fast paced and fun Happy Banjo . I think it was appropriate to release it in the spring for those lazy days when you're sitting inside watching the rain. Grab the first single [...]

Video: Dark Mean "Happy Banjo" Taken from the Ontario outfit's self-titled full-length out June 14th.

Toronto trio Dark Mean -- Mark Dean (oh, ok...), Mark Holmes and Sandy Johnston -- deliver charmed, gently twisted indie folk/pop on their upcoming self-titled debut album arriving June 14. Take, if you will, "Happy Banjo", a joyously raw slice of staggered drum shots, acoustic strumming, dense brass shadings and -- yes, you guessed it -- some jaunty banjo picking. Great slow build, too. Video after the jump... Dark Mean - "Happy Banjo" [...]

I first fell in love with Hamilton, Ontario's Dark Mean back in early 2009 , and have patiently waited as the band prepared its debut full-length album (which was originally going to be entitled The Constant K Determines the Ultimate Fate of the Universe , but now seems to simply be self-titled). Well, the waiting has finally ended - the band's debut album is now set for a June 14th release, though you can actually purchase a digital copy of the album NOW . I am literally downloading it as I type [...]
