Blackmarket

St. Vincent Decor (Mine & Yours)
Release Date: November 2, 2009

Arizona-based Blackmarket began playing together when they were little more than junior high school students. Their first full length release, The Elephant In The Room was released in 2008 via No Office Records to industry acclaim. Daryl Lamont (vocals, guitar), Langdon Chieffo (drums), Mikey Emerson (bass) and Jason Brindis (guitar, keyboards), showcase their journey through insightful lyrics, catchy melodies and overall brilliant musicianship. They tapped the team of Sean Slade (Radiohead, Dinosaur Jr., Hole) and Matthew Ellard (Morphine, Weezer, Elliott Smith), to produce the album. Slade and Ellard also produced Blackmarket’s self-titled EP which was called “surprisingly compelling, one relentless riff to another” by Performing Songwriter. Blackmarket will be releasing their second album, St. Vincent Decor via their new label, Mine &Yours in spring of 2010.
