Sarah Darling - Canyon (2024)

Having not released a full-length project post-pandemic, Nashville-based Iowan Sarah Darling returns with the stunning ‘Canyon’ record her first offering since the sublime ‘Wonderland’ that dropped back in June of 2019 and the long wait has been more than worth it.

The new ten-track project from Sarah Darling is simply sublime and takes listeners on a beautiful sonic journey through timeless soundscapes with sweeping imagery delivering a timeless capsule of country gems steeped in 70s nostalgia, warm summer nights and breezy sonic productions.

There’s something truly divine about the songs Darling creates and with ‘Canyon’ she has encapsulated the last five years of her career and life with a creativity that only a true artist such as herself can. Bold, honest, poetic and kaleidoscopic at its core this is a record that you can hear she has put her heart and soul into.

Standouts on the collection include the heartfelt ‘Silver Linings’. thought-provoking ‘Hollywood’. nostalgic ‘Crochet Summer’, and sweeping ‘Getting Gone’, but there is not one track you can pinpoint as significantly better or worse such as the standard Sarah Darling has amassed across the record. There is not one filler here.

Sarah Darling is truly a dream artist, genuinely kind and grounded with a pure angelic vocal tone, and lyrical style that takes listeners out of their lives for a little moment offering them an escape into this dreamy world that she has created within the depths of her sound that is simply stunning.
