Videos: Dark Dark Dark, The Loom at Union Pool

darkdarkdarkunion

Not that anyone’s even awake today, but here’re a few more presents. Dark Dark Dark’s set at Union Pool was much more fun than the relatively stiff one at Cake Shop. The last song they played was “Flood”, which isn’t on their album, but was performed for a forthcoming Daytrotter session, I hear. Nona got off the stage and joined the audience for a massive bout of swaying and singing. The video of this, and “The Benefit of the Doubt”, which features a few heart-gripping cello lines, are after the jump; as isĀ ”True Believers All” by the Loom, whose front man John Fanning was celebrating his 28th birthday that night.
