With Halloween Love Songs, The Darts prove that a Halloween-themed album doesn't need to rely on novelty. Instead, the Arizona Garage Rock favourites deliver a thrilling collection of fuzz-soaked guitars, pounding rhythms, swirling Farfisa organ and irresistible hooks, creating an album that's every bit as enjoyable in the middle of summer as it is on Halloween night.
Inspired by the atmosphere and mystery of Halloween rather than simply its monsters, the album unfolds like a night after dark, blending Garage Rock, Punk, Surf and 1960s influences into something unmistakably The Darts. Songs such as Midnight Creep, Zombies On The Metro, Every Night Is Halloween, The Devil Made Me Do It and Late Drive showcase a band whose songwriting is just as strong as its powerhouse performances.
Pressed on eye-catching pink vinyl, Halloween Love Songs is an inspired addition to any Garage Rock collection. It's a record you'll keep coming back to long after the Halloween decorations have been packed away.
