DARK DAY - Darkest Before Dawn

Performance artist Robin Crutchfield moved to New York City in the mid-1970s to participate in the growing Soho and Tribeca art scene. After some critical success, he crossed over into music co-founding the experimental No Wave noise band DNA, which recorded tracks for the No New York album with Brian Eno. After a year with DNA, he departed to form his own musical project, DARK DAY, with an array of various guest performers including Steven Brown of Tuxedomoon, filmmaker Jim Jarmusch, Nina Canal from Ut, and others. He continued on alone releasing a number of albums in styles ranging from cold wave, to medieval pagan, to quirky electronica. - Nigh Eve.
