NEW ALBUM!
A second album is on the way. Great news for all Darren's fans.
The lead single, Hidden Universe, was a big song that's already been called an instant classic. Why did you kiss me? is equally catchy, with a more intimate vibe. And both have fine lyric videos by Jackson Pope.
Produced once again by Nick Brine, engineer on Oasis's massive selling (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? Since then, Nick has produced and engineered for major names in the industry – from Bruce Springsteen and Robbie Williams to Stereophonics and The Verve.
The album title is "Hidden Universe". Discover it here, on Sondar Records. Coming soon....
