This one did better than usual on some of the other platforms so I'm sharing it here. If you like it check out my stuff at patreon.com/darlingfitch

Tonight! My latest track The Heart And The Bone will be played on Nocturnal Submissions, the Sunday night show on Shady Pines Radio out of Portland! The show airs from 8-10PM PDT, streaming worldwide - tune in at the link 👾👾

I haven't announced it officially anywhere but I am doing one of my 30-day Patreon challenges where I post a new song, soundscape, essay or poem every day for a month. You can subscribe for as little as $0 but any cash you throw my way gets reinvested in my work. If you've liked my recent tracks, this is how releasing and promoting them is funded so any support is appreciated!

updated the artist picks playlist... in case ur looking for new music

I released a new song on Friday, it’s been an interesting experience putting stuff out there and I’ve gotten all kinds of responses. Some people think it’s great and well produced, some people think it’s boring and stupid, some people told me I was going to hell and some added it to their radio station lineups. Personally I think it’s fun to finally do something again that kind of exists in the world, but it’s going to take some time to carve a niche and feel like I have a thing going or know what I’m doing with it. Before 2020 I had finally found a place in the world that made sense to me, traveling and performing my incredibly strange little mix of performance art, poetry and experimental music, building something where I was actually getting paid for it, collaborating with and giving opportunities to others when I could, it felt like a vocation - I had something of meaning to offer the world, and the world accepted. Something I was blessed to learn in the past few years is that I still have value even when I don’t have something to offer, and I’ve gained some needed distance between my sense of self and my artistic output. But I’d like to find more of a place amongst others again, within my new limitations and outlooks. So that’s what I’m up to. Hope it resonates with some. You can hear the new project here:

Stream The Heart And The Bone by Darling Fitch on Spotify <3

The Heart And The Bone combines cold, wind-swept instrumentation and intimately rough vocals in a bittersweet electronic ballad of resilience and survival. Dedicated to transgender people in the United States who are fighting against growing social and legal repression, The Heart And The Bone offers an embrace to anyone who has felt the loneliness and desperation of being an “outcast” and has clung to the beauty of life, against the odds.

The Heart And The Bone is now available on BandCamp!!!

One of the cool things about putting out a new track is discovering the work of other artists while checking the blogs and playlists that have featured my work. It’s been a while since I took such a deep dive into up-to-the-minute new music, and I’m excited to report back that it’s renewed my faith in contemporary production!! People (myself included) often complain about how hard it is to find new stuff to listen to, especially with big services like Spotify favoring “classic” tracks with their algorithm.

I made a playlist featuring my favorite new discoveries - if you’re looking for new things to listen to, maybe you want to check it out and give it a follow… I plan to update it every couple of weeks - and I have some new stuff of my own coming out soon that I’ll be adding on too so give the playlist a like/follow and keep checking back!

Shout out to the playlist artists, some of whom I know and many of whom I don’t

Darling Fitch Track RISE Out Now - Download/Share!

Single RISE is out now on all digital platforms: Spotify, iTunes, Amazon Music, YouTube, and more.  

Praise for RISE: "Sometimes I need a cinematic lament of gentrification for morning, noon or night. Darling's gentle ingenuity shines on this one." -Jessica Daugherty, Al Limite Collective/Shrine 13  

The track is a darkly inspiring ode to resilience in the face of gentrification in Berlin. If you remember, I gave it a small release a while back on Bandcamp. 15% of any Bandcamp proceeds from the track will still go to Deutsche Wohnen & Co Enteignen for their popular and broadly supported fight to socialize housing in the city. Download it! Add it to your playlists! Share it with a friend!  

Can you see them building Building up to nowhere Can you see them building High high high Can you see them building Building up to nowhere Raising up their ladders to the sky sky sky Can you feel the shadows Moving through the city Can you feel them follow us Follow us around Can you feel us hiding Hiding in the shadows Searching for the water in the ground ground ground Can you hear us calling Calling out together Can you hear our laughter and our cries cries cries Can you hear us joining Curling roots together Can you hear our voices   As we rise, rise rise What will you be building   When they get to nowhere Are you climbing up there - or planted with us now Climbing up or planted When they get to nowhere What will you be building when it all falls down (They come here So we go there They’re building up to nowhere)

Much Love. Keep The Power On.
