You could download Darwin Meiners' solo album Starfishing for free, sure, but the heavy aqua-blue vinyl, thick lyric insert and cover photo taken in Bodega Bay can't be matched in mp3 form. Produced by David J from Bauhaus and Love & Rockets, the album's full of delicate hooks, memorable lyrics and familiar local musicians like Emily Jane White, Judah Nagler and Henry Nagle. - North Bay Bohemian / Gabe Meline

Bio
Having spent his life playing in several bands and producing/recording projects Darwin was encouraged by David J (Bauhaus, Love and Rockets) to begin working as a solo artist. In 2012 he released his debut album, Starfishing with David J producing and playing bass. After touring Europe as David's bassist/backup vocalist Darwin returned with new material and began working on a follow up. This time around recruiting Violent Femmes drummer Victor DeLorenzo and David J once again on bass and co-production duties. The result was Souvenir EP featuring 3 new songs and a video featuring David J, Victor DeLorenzo and Emily Jane White.
2019 Darwin released his 2nd full length EP, 'So Few Comets'. A far more political and electronic offering produced by Julian Shah-Tayler. The pandemic years were spent writing and recording several singles including, 'Dance Alone', 'Touche', 'Unkind Lover' and the shoegazer, 'Don't Tell a Soul'.
Darwin is currently completing an album with his new band, Night Crickets, called 'A Free Society'. His bandmates David J and Victor DeLorenzo.
