* Dark Entries is proud to host Darlynn's debut album, Dyke Den. Darlynn is an Oakland-based duo composed of Daria Lourd (aka Bored Lord) and his wife, singer Jaelynn Walls. Dyke Den is a lesbian love story about two creative people who find each other and themselves through effusive and contemplative sound avenues. Created in their home over the course of two years, this album talks about the journey of Daria and Jaelynn's romantic relationship as well as their evolutionary combined creative impulses. On Dyke Den, Darlynn displays their influences — from Janet Jackson and Sly & the Family Stone, to Frankie Knuckles and Larry Levan in a sophisticated, fully realized, and openly queered fashion The cheerful moments of the dance floor are plentiful. Tracks like "Make Yr Move" and "Like A Summer" celebrate deep house vibes at Alleviated Records, while sensual R&B moves are flexed to "Girl 2 Girl" and "Alright With Me". But desire and desire exist in this joyful bow, and the question arises, "How can I lead you to love me? More than an idealistic account of the girl who meets them, Dyke Den paints a portrait of love in all his multifaceted moments: the bidding for commitment, the stagnation of the passing years, the wormholes of desire. Yet the album maintains its thesis of hope. The soft and layered harmonies of the closing song "Love Letter" display the power of life partnership: "My whole life is a love letter to you". Dyke Den features illustrations of Hailee Va in a cover designed by Eloise Shir-Juen Leigh. Darlynn's final statement: "We are all creatures of desire, entirely built for love. »
