Patrick Bower The Dark Lord (of love) EP

OUT MARCH 30, 2010! 

Patrick Bower and The World Without Magic Darren Will This is music for ghosts.

Patrick and Darren's songs tap into a lingering sense that the veil between worlds is more threadbare than we'd like to admit. They are inhabited by haunted characters, inky black nights of the soul and images that seem to waver between the world we see and the worlds we pass through. The result is a lush, delicate take on psychadelic pop, with nods to forebearers like Scott Walker, Leonard Cohen and Syd Barret.

This year, Patrick Bower & The World Without Magic have recorded and released two albums, Beach Closed, the self-titled Patrick Bower & The World Without Magic and a new digital single, "One Day Soon, I Will Break You."

 
On March 30, they will release a limited edition EP entitled The Dark Lord (of love) in the US and a 7" single on the French label A Quick One.

“Patrick Bower & The World Without Magic waver between exuberance and despair, and maintain a constant tension between these two extremes. At some moments the music gives a sense of being in the midst of a debaucherous party and at others, the feeling is that of being completely alone. What all of the songs have in common is the intelligence and tenderness of Bower's songwriting.”
