DESCRIPTION

Celebrate the 40th anniversary of the seminal debut album that launched North Carolina legends The Connells into the international spotlight. Born out of the mid-80's North Carolina indie-rock boom alongside contemporaries like R.E.M., 'Darker Days' is the sound of a young band discovering its singular voice in real time. Driven by Mike Connell's distinctly melodic, British-influenced songwriting and Doug MacMillan's instinctive vocals, the band caught the attention of London's Demon Records before they even had a domestic record deal. Now, four decades after its frantic, cross-continental release, this definitive reissue captures the fleeting moment just before the band became a college radio staple.
