“MY MIND IS IN THE REARVIEW,
PLAYING TUG OF WAR,
I CAN’T FIGHT THIS FEELING,
AIN’T IN TEXAS ANYMORE…”

— BUMMERTOWN || VAN DARIEN

When your mind is adrift, where does it go? Van Darien’s upcoming album, Bummertown is a fury of fantasy, rooted in reality, a cathartic 10-track journey of supernatural proportions. Van invites you to dive into your imagination and escape on a round-trip adventure through Bummertown, a thrilling ride sifting through memories with abounding twists + turns.

This euphoric collage of bright pop melodies, edgy alt-rock attitude and dreamy cinematic soundscapaes curated by producer Owen Beverly, is a brilliant mixtape nodding gently at 90’s nostalgia while maintaining Van’s signature poetic storytelling.

In Bummertown you can be whatever you want, surf the stars or traipse the woods in search of truth. Look deep into the eyes of danger and know the starship exodus is on its way to take you safely home.
