Update: we have mulch. We don't have much mulch because this is our first ever mulch, but we have mulch.

DARKLINGS

The Artery is finally out on streaming services!

Tidal, Apple Music, YouTube Music, SoundCloud (to name just a few).

Not Spotify. This was a conscious decision. We'll be moving away from it entirely from here on out.

We hope you understand and we hope you enjoy the Artery if you haven't already!

Wettest, LEAFIEST thank-you's to all who have given your time and ears to listen to The Artery!

Tell us - have you any favourite moments? What did you like about it? Anything you want more of? Should we put a microphone in front of the tui?

Hello Darklings

Cryptic teasers aside - we are stoked to announce the release of our new single - 'The Artery' on September 9th.

It's been 3 years since both the band's conception AND release of original music, and this is easily our best work as of yet.

Something to note: The Artery shall be released on all platforms EXCEPT Spotify.

We've some very talented friends to extend our wettest, leafiest thanks and gratitude towards:

@thereignofdando for generously taking us under your wing and recording The Artery for us.
@zorran1 for your mixing and mastering mahi.
@amultopiwala for your single artwork and soon-to-be-released visualizer.

Friends - thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your time, patience, visions, knowledge, wisdom, and mahi. This simply would not be without you

THE ARTERY - OUT SEPTEMBER 9TH
