Darkle are a four-piece emo/math rock/screamo band from New Lenox, Illinois that formed in 2015. They play a modern style of emo akin to bands like Prince Daddy & The Hyena and Mom Jeans., but with more experimental elements, and a slightly darker sound than bands like that (as their name might suggest). They play with that mathy/screamy/twinkly blend that hints at some Merchant Ships influence as well, with catchy vocals and despairing lyrics. Their most recent EP,
Pain Train, is a loose concept outlining the five stages of grief, with each track offering up a unique tone and eclectic instrumentation which makes for a rollercoaster listen. Definitely good stuff here, highly recommended. Enjoy.
