Darlynn- Dyke Den

Oakland duo Darlynn, formed by Daria Lourd and wife Jaelynn Walls, brings a real-life queer love story to the dancefloor on their debut album Dyke Den for Dark Entries. The LP echoes the crackling magic of an archival white-label 12-inch, striking a silky smooth balance between sultry deep house and bouncy retro R&B. Drawing inspo from Frankie Knuckles to Janet Jackson, it’s a swanky and deeply sensual body of work.
