I’ll be at Spaceland here in Los Angeles tonight to see Darker My Love who are in the middle of their July Monday night residency. Most descriptions I’ve read describe them as 60’s psych-rock which I can’t stand, but I’ve seen these guys a couple of times now and really like them. Two of the members filled in last minute on The Fall’s last tour so they’ve picked up quite a few new fans. This is a live cover of Can’s “Mother Sky” from their Spaceland performance last Monday. Special thanks to Crashingbeat for the recording.
