LP - Limited White Vinyl with Download. Toronto-based artist, composer and producer Lydia Ainsworth releases her sublime second album, Darling of the Afterglow. The album is released through Bella Union. Darling of the Afterglow is Lydia Ainsworth’s sophomore record and follow up to the Juno-nominated and critically acclaimed Right From Real (2014). The album features a team of local Toronto musicians, woven into Ainsworth’s programming, samples and string arrangements. Mixing yearning pop with other-worldly synthetic sounds, plush classical settings and weird-gothic R&B influences, Lydia Ainsworth’s new album is a richly imagined, richly felt work of future-pop classicism: an album of intimate emotions projected in heightened widescreen. The stunning, 11-track Darling of the Afterglow - from the lush lullaby of Afterglow, to the immersive Into The Blue, to the masterful cover of Chris Isaak’s Wicked Game - showcases a great leap forward from Right from Real’s already prodigious experi-pop riches.
