about

This is the collected three “Perfectly Alive” ep’s. These are songs framed by what one might call “The Heroine’s Journey,” from the naivety of girlhood, through initiation into the adult world of sexuality, conflict, loss, and finally to self-love, integration, and acceptance.

Dark, anthemic indie rock vibes from Minneapolis, MN. We make loud, pretty music about witches and physics.

“There’s a certain wilderness about Lovely Dark that no other band captures, and you’ll grow hungry for it... The rhythms are loud. There are beefy, beastly grooves here that you simply do not get in bands with similar songwriting styles.... The lyrics, the vocals, and the music all move without a good frame of reference. The characters in these songs might exist in modern times, but they also might exist in the lawless West of legend, or as nomadic hunter-gatherer spirits. It’s this abstract spirit that makes Lovely Dark a band worth seeking out” (Earbuddy).

“Layered and theatrical … like a walk through a fairy-tale forest” (89.3 the Current).

Thanks for checking it out.
