This week’s PBS Feature Album is the debut record In The Space You Carry by local multi-instrumentalist Darvid Thor.
In The Space You Carry is a catharsis from youth, a shedding of skin. Leaning into the cinematic and orchestral spaces within the indie and alternative music idiom, Darvid’s absorbing, photosynthetic, warped, beautiful music reminds us to slow down, take a breath, and take stock of what’s around us.
Carving out a new mood between the frayed crosshairs of orchestral indie, Darvid Thor’s debut album In The Space You Carry is a record conceived of and produced in a time of personal and temporal unbecoming. Surprising vocal cadences accompanied by Darvid’s ever-lanky guitar work venture across his lyrics in startling and surreptitious ways; something his first release prementioned.
By fusing degrees of orchestral and cinematic arrangements, Darvid has created an album that is an extended overture to his body's emotional shifts. Phrases throughout speak to this yearning and progression as adulthood encourages him to become more cunning and extroverted with his arrangements.
