The Darcys are an art rock band from Toronto comprised of Jason Couse (vocals, guitar, keys), Wes Marksell (drums), Michael le Riche (guitar, synth, vocals) and Dave Hurlow (bass). The band's 2013 studio album, Warring, represents its third release on Arts & Crafts and the final instalment in a trilogy of albums that includes The Darcys (2011) and AJA (2012). Warring was produced by Tom Mcfall (Stars, R.E.M., Bloc Party) and mixed by Dave Schiffman (Rage Against The Machine, System Of A Down). The album was written over three years and recorded in Toronto during the final six months of 2012 with a focus on sonic detail inspired by the history of great studio opuses.
