Wild Go

Piano, accordion and great vocals.

I never thought I could like accordion music so much!

I've been a fan for about a year now and finally got to see them live last night. Nona's voice is Absolutely beautiful and I had the pleasure of telling her. They're so down to earth and great live. I love this record

LOVE this album! I could listen to it on repeat forever and ever...great sound. Check out their EP and "Snow Magic" too for more great music.

How can it be that Minneapolis sextet Dark Dark Dark's sophomore release Wild Go (out October 5) may be the freshest, most breathtaking indie record of the year? WTF? They’re not even from Brooklyn or Portland! Co-led by multi-instrumentalists/singers Nona Marie Invie and Marshall LaCount, the band infuse their gay chamber folk with handpicked elements of gypsy folk, French Quarter jazz and the sharp observations of the best American singer-songwriters. Invie handles most of the vocals in a style reminiscent of Natalie Merchant while LaCount’s reedy voice is softly casual. Accordions wheeze and a lone violin saws away like a Balkan street-corner musician on frenzied opener "In Your Dreams" as Invie and LaCount offer menacing harmonizing to a tale of lacerating isolation. They invoke the cabaret spirit of Dresden Dolls on "Say the Word;" the lustrous sorrow of Joni Mitchell on "Something for Myself." And on the stunning "Daydreaming," a melody that drifts away like a cloudless afternoon portends a night full of "unspeakable things," a phrase Invie repeats like an ominous mantra. So step aside, Williamsburg. Watch your back, Oregon. Minneapolis just beat you at your own game.
