Pilot Machines in Music Savage’s Top Albums of 2012

Darlingside — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 17:26:07 +0000

Thanks to Ryan Doyon over at Music Savage for naming Pilot Machines one of his top albums of the year, along with albums from Jack White, The Lumineers, Of Monsters and Men, and a bunch of other fantastic choices. Thanks, Ryan!

There are times when a band comes along and records an album that makes you sing the praises of your town, and Cambridge’s very own Darlingside have done just that with the release of their debut album Pilot Machines. Moving here from Austin, otherwise known as the music capital of the world, I thought I had left behind the one place I had found where good local music was as close as the nearest trendy dive bar. Thankfully I was wrong, and thankfully I can share with the Music Savage readers outside of Boston that there is more to the area than the amazing musical past that brought us the Pixies, Buffalo Tom, and Galaxie 500 just to name a few. Pilot Machines is a collection of songs that gets better with each listen and is the kind of album that puts talented bands like Darlingside on the map. Go Cambridge! […] more »

Many thanks to Paul Robishaw for proclaiming us one of “The City’s Hottest Acts”, and for an awesome feature in this year’s Improper Bostonian music issue:

Thanks to Sam Pfeifle for the kind write-up!

[S]imultaneously innovative and backward-looking[…] [Darlingside] have made a record that ought to fit right in with Portland’s indie-roots inclinations.
