The musical offerings of the Darlingside band's previous "Fish Pond Fish" (released in October 2020) had already attracted the attention of music critics, earning them the definition of "exquisitely arranged, literary-minded baroque folk-pop". The 2023 album "Everything Is Alive" also allows the Massachusetts lineup to delight its admirers with twelve graceful and enveloping compositions, perfectly at home in the territories of the most inspired and delicate folk.
