September 2009 national release, "ROCKET" -- Austin release party on SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, at CAROUSEL LOUNGE
Darling New Neighbors' new album "Rocket" will be available for the first time on August 22, 2009, at the Carousel Lounge in Austin, in hand-crafted packages created by artist Adam Young and screenprinter Jaime Cervantes. "Rocket," which was mixed by Jeff Hoskins (Foot Patrol, Cactus Cafe), will be available locally and nationally in coming months. Darling New Neighbors released "Every Day Is Saturday Night" (I Eat Records) in 2006, to national acclaim.
Unfettered by indie-rock orbits, "Rocket" explores a range from wry folk (“Gasoline”) to dominatrix hard-rock (“Take It”), from angelic pop (“Sydney”) to distinctive Latin (“Tango”). In typical fashion, all three Neighbors contributed songs to the album, circulating among instruments and an eclectic range of styles. Primarily vocalist and bassist, Elizabeth Jackson makes appearances on accordion, violin, and drums. Guitarist Amy Moreland provides vocals and bass tracks on multiple numbers. Reid Faist, as well, steps out from the drum set for vocals and guitar work. Pedal-steel maestro Gary Newcomb (Bruce Robison, Li’l Cap’n Travis) makes a cameo in the cinematic, Southern-noir “Indian Mounds.” DNN’s calypso twist on Neil Young’s “Only Love Can Break Your Heart” is not to be missed.

“A nicely unconventional version of folk-rock . . like a laidback but constantly surprising sort of party.” (The Big Takeover, 1 New Album)
“Sharp-witted folk-punk-disco bouillabaise . . a freewheeling mindset that doesn't break boundaries so much as pay no attention to them whatsoever.” (The Austin Chronicle)
