*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 her wife, vocalist Jaelynn Walls. Dyke Den is a lesbian love story about two creative individuals finding each other and themselves through effusive and contemplative sonic avenues. Created in their home over the course of two years, this album speaks to the journey of Daria and Jaelynn's romantic relationship as well as their evolving combined creative impulses.On Dyke Den, Darlynn display their influences-from Janet Jackson and Sly & the Family Stone, to Frankie Knuckles and Larry Levan-in a sophisticated, fully realized, and overtly queered fashion. Joyous dancefloor moments are abundant. Tracks like "Make Yr Move" and "Like A Summer" celebrate deep house vibes a la Alleviated Records, while sultry R&B moves are flexed on "Girl 2 Girl" and "Alright With Me." But longing and yearning exist within this joyous arc, and the question arises: "How can I get you to love me?" More than an idealistic narrative of girl meets they/them, Dyke Den paints a portrait of love in all it's multifaceted moments: the bids for commitment, the stagnation of years going by, the wormholes of desire. Yet the album maintains it's thesis of hope. The sweet, layered harmonies of closing song "Love Letter" display the power of life partnership: "My whole life is a love letter to you." Dyke Den features artwork by Hailee Va in a sleeve designed by Eloise Shir-Juen Leigh. Darlynn's final declaration, "We are all creatures of desire, completely built for love."
