Originally conceived as a surreal take on a pop album to contrast with their ominously prescient monolithic 2019 release, Transmission, DARSOMBRA’s Dumesday Book is a ten-song survey of sentiment and human experience in the pandemic, from initial lockdown to vaccinated re-emergence and beyond – which, in the DARSOMBRA microcosm, means from cancelled tours to returning to the road. Dumesday Book delivers seventy-five minutes of sonic revelry recorded and mixed by Brian Daniloski at the band’s Whale Manor and mastered by Jon Smulyan. Ann Everton handled the cover art, photography, and videography.
Stream DARSOMBRA’s Dumesday Book everywhere including Bandcamp HERE, and watch multiple videos from the album at YouTube HERE.
Dumesday Book is available on CD, 2xLP, and digitally on DARSOMBRA’s Pnictogen Records. Physical formats include a 12-page booklet, a sticker, and a download code with access to bonus material. Place orders at the band’s webshop HERE and Bandcamp HERE. Crucial Blast released the record in a limited double-cassette box set, available HERE.
