  • Dark Sky will release their debut album, imagin, through Modeselektor's Monkeytown Records on August 22nd. The trio of Carlo Anderson, Matthew Benyayer and Thomas Edwards already have a close working relationship with Modeselektor: they've put out two EPs on their 50 Weapons offshoot and have appeared on several Monkeytown/50 Weapons compilations. They said releasing the album on Monkeytown "feels like a very natural fit for the record given how our sound has evolved during the writing process over the last two years." They add: "In terms of influences there are too many to mention, but our constant search for records to play on NTS Radio has definitely been a big factor in helping us gather new ideas and inspiration. Writing the album was also heavily influenced by how we were going to interpret it in a live scenario, which is how we will be touring the album in the very near future." Ahead of imagin, Monkeytown will release a single from Dark Sky called Silent Fall on August 1st. You can watch a brief album teaser below:
