Civic Jams Music CD

Darkstar return with their fourth album Civic Jams on 15th May. On their most personal record to date, Darkstar counterbalance observations of their home with those of the community surrounding it. Civic Jams is a photonegative of a dance record shaped by a dialogue between shoegaze atmospherics and UK bass musics hardcore continuum. Darkstar find themselves at once looking homeward and venturing further into their own psychic hinterland with each record. Theyve covered a lot of ground from the introspective expanse of their debut North [2010], to utopian visions of society in News From Nowhere [2013] and the unique dynamics of a pre-Brexit northern England on Foam Island [2015]. On their latest offering, home is within reach. Inspired by the intervening years, Darkstar (aka Aiden Whalley and James Young) show how the personal can be political and reveal more of themselves than theyve ever done before. Imagine emotional realism built from spectral rave echoes, anchored in timeless songs of love and loss in the digital now and youve got it. 01. Forest 02. Jam 03. 1001 04. 30 feat. Laura Groves 05.
