2 (Darker My Love Album)

2 is the second album by L.A. band Darker My Love. Recorded primarily at Sunset Sound Recorders in Los Angeles, with additional recording at Sage & Sound, The Boat, Sonora, and Westbeach Recorders, it is the first to feature Will Canzoneri on organ and clavinet. It was released on August 5, 2008. The artwork for the album was done by lead guitarist/vocalist Tim Presley. Several of the songs on 2 were previously performed live in a different arrangement under various working titles, appearing on the set of live albums Darker My Love recorded during their Spaceland residency in 2006. Bassist/vocalist Rob Barbato reportedly compulsively consumed two tablespoons of apple sauce between vocal takes on the song "Two Ways Out." The album, produced by Dave Cooley and mixed by Tony Hoffer, peaked at #41 on the heatseekers album chart.
