Darling DeMaes

Montreal's The Darling DeMaes never seems to be exactly where you'd expected. Via a strangely pertinent arrangement of sounds à la Radiohead, the Beatles White album and motown, DeMaed's pop music bases its self on bitter-sweet lyrics delicately delivered by a male-female tandem, accompanied by pernicious melodies.

Its current form is constituted at the core of Erik Virtanen (vocals, acoustic guitar), Tasha Cyr (vocals, electric guitar, keyboard) and Buz (electric guitar, melodica, vocals) who then call upon bassist Trevor Lashmore and drummer Stefan Jovanovich.

After 2007’s Winter Keep us Warm, a completely acoustic first EP (now available for free download on the band’s website) and the “pop noire” of A user’s Guide to Raising the Dead (Song of Spring), their first full length album, Darling DeMaes are currently occupied at creating twisted, celebrity inspired short stories, truly winding musical road-movies.
