It was taped Tuesday, August 24, 2010, and today is a special day for the band, as their debut full-length, <span style="font-style: italic;">Lights That Last Forever</span> also saw its official release today. You can pick up the album in CD or cream-colored vinyl/digipak from the <a href="http://cardboardsangria.com/" target="_blank">Cardboard Sangria Records</a> website, or at fine local music retailers. Special thanks to band members Jeff Schneider, Don Ogilvie, and Nick Voss for taping the interview. Be sure to mark your calendar for their <a href="http://www.facebook.com/#%21/event.php?eid=155791027782790" target="_blank">album listening party/DJ night</a> this Thursday at <a href="http://www.theburlingtonbar.com/" target="_blank">The Burlington</a>.<br />

The guys from <a href="http://www.myspace.com/darlingchicago" target="_blank">Darling</a> were awesome enough to tape an in-depth interview and live music session last month, but I came down with an evil superbug cough that drains me of my life force and haven't finished the edit yet! However. They're playing tomorrow night (Thursday, September 16th) at <a href="http://hideoutchicago.com/" target="_blank">The Hideout</a> to celebrate the release of their first full-length album, <span style="font-style: italic;">Lights That Last Forever</span> (out on <a href="http://www.cardboardsangria.com/" target="_blank">Cardboard Sangria Records</a> September 28), and I wanted to give all y'all a taste of what's in store at the show and on the podcast. Seriously, it's a good album, they are a fun and talented bunch of guys, and you should listen to their music now. Which is where the online player below comes in. And stop back soon for the full interview where they talk about music, life, and why Darling Must Drum. :)<br />
