Israel Darling
Feeling trapped and isolated is a way of life in Western North Carolina. From the former milltowns akin to Drexel to the tourist driven city of Asheville, it's easy to be in debt and alone until you're gray. And so the tale of Greensboro, North Carolina's Israel Darling began. Born out of one man's coming-of-age trials and tribulations, grounded by five other southern hearts. Israel Darling is Jacob Darden, Alex Dagenhart, Jeff Bechtel, Mat Masterson and Arlie Huffman.

"It is an immediately engaging album that keeps it's momentum up from the first track to the last, while taking great thematic risks in the material he chooses to explore - specifically religion and drug addiction - but doing so with utter care and to stirring effect." 90/100 - Yes! Weekly
