This week’s Mountain Stage features Boston-based quartet Darlingside, joined by Irish folk group Altan, Royal Wood, Rachael Sage, and Dear Darling. Tune in to one of these NPR stations starting Friday, April 28, and be sure to subscribe to our podcast so you can listen from wherever you may be.
Our Song of the Week comes from Darlingside, who is described by NPR as “exquisitely arranged, literary-minded, baroque folk-pop.” Their combination of rich harmonies with electronic elements, banjo, mandolin, violin and cello makes for an inventive sound that is reminiscent of Crosby, Stills and Nash and Simon & Garfunkel, with a decidedly modern approach.
Our Song of the Week is Darlingside’s performance of “Ocean Bed,” which appeared on their 2020 album Fish Pond Fish.
Hear the entire set from Darlingside, plus live performances by Altan, Royal Wood, Rachael Sage, and Dear Darling on this week’s episode of Mountain Stage with host Kathy Mattea.
