Darren Hayman – January Songs
0Darren Hayman (who I’m legally obliged to point out was the front man of Hefner) is writing, recording, and releasing a new song every day throughout January. Each day, you’re able to track exactly what he is up to through the process, with his notes, video diaries and all sorts of extras being made available throughout. At the end of the day, each song is released for free for a limited time, before being offered as a paid download later on.
It’s a fascinating project, if only for the way it provides a nice little insight into Hayman’s process, and his continuing exploration at new ways of putting music out. Over the course of the month, he’s being joined by a number of collaborators, including Gordon from Ballboy, The Hillfields, Monster Bobby, and Jack Hayter, who I’m legally obliged to point out has a nice little EP coming out soon on Audio Antihero.
The song below (and above for that matter) is the song from day ten of the project, and features Elizabeth Morris, whom all of you should know from Allo Darlin’. It contains a lot of bad words. Yay!

Here’s a random find from Youtube. A stunningly good quality version of Darren, a new song by Allo Darlin’ about the former Hefner frontman, Darren Hayman. They’ve been playing this live for a while, including the last time I saw them, but the sound was so muddy you could hardly make anything out in that instance. Recorded in San Francisco as part of their recent US tour, it just whets the appetite for new additional from the band. Handclaps “for the win”, as the kids might say.

There’s not really much for me to say about this beyond how completely lovely both the song and the video are. I’ll take some grainy Super 8 footage over your newfangled HD nonsense any day. Wonderful.
Essex Arms will be released on October 4 on Fortuna Pop! Just like every other release I seem to mention on here these days.
