Best known as a multi-instrumentalists, producer, and bandmember of The Antlers, Darby Cicci will soon debut his new solo project School of Night with a self-titled EP on Oct. 15. According to a press release the collection of songs was written, recorded, and produced between 2011 and 2012 during breaks in the studio and on the road with The Antlers. I would go to my studio, play synths in the dark, collect sounds that I love and try to build little worlds I could just dissolve into and explore,” says Cicci notes of the writing and recording process. “At first it was mostly playtime and I wasn’t planning on releasing it, but if I’ve learned anything from my experiences, it’s that the more you open up and share about yourself, the more you’ll learn.” In the lead-up to the EP’s arrival Cicci has shared the included cut “Lying.” Click the stream below to listen.
