Local atmospheric indie rockers My Darling Fury are hard at work on their new album, entitled A/O/K, and today we’re bringing you a preview of the sounds they’ve got in store for us all, in the form of an exclusive live video for their brand new tune, “I’ve Been Bad.”
The video features a live in-studio performance by My Darling Fury, filmed with multiple cameras and capturing the performance in high-fidelity sound. This is fun because you get to watch singer/keyboardist Danny Reyes use his effects processor to create multiple vocal loops in real time. And of course, “I’ve Been Bad” is a captivating song in and of itself, featuring as it does the signature ambient, reverberating sound My Darling Fury has perfected over the last few years. Between Todd Matthews’ high, melodic basslines, Clark Fraley’s ringing lead guitar, and Joel Hollister’s rumbling, tom-heavy beats, the musical background creates the perfect sound bed over which Reyes can work his vocal magic. Watch it all go down right here:
As with their debut album, Licking Wounds, My Darling Fury has turned to crowdfunding to finance their follow-up, and the Pledge Music campaign for A/O/K is in full swing. You currently have 46 days remaining to order yourself a CD copy of the album for $15, so be sure to take advantage of this offer and get in on the ground floor of this campaign. Of course, as with any good crowdfunding campaign, all sorts of weird and awesome rewards are available for higher pledges, including getting the band to record songs for you (covers are $250, originals about a topic of your choice are $600), a custom-built arcade console crafted for you by Fraley (a steal at $875), and even an executive producer credit on the new album (available for a $2500 pledge–and highly apropos, considering that financing productions is exactly what an executive producer does). Check out the full range of options, and get a copy of your very own, by going to My Darling Fury’s Pledge Music page now!
And while you’re at it, the band is also currently competing for a slot on the 2015 Bonnaroo lineup. They’re competing as part of a March Madness-style SonicBids bracket challenge, and have made it to the third round, but could use your help to surpass their current opponents. Head over to sonicbids.bracketeers.com, give My Darling Fury your vote, and help local RVA talent find its way to the stage at Bonnaroo!
