Secretly Canadian are proud to announce the addition of
I Love You But I’ve Chosen Darkness (Austin, TX) to its roster
Formed in 2001, Austin, TX’s I Love You But I’ve Chosen Darkness have been flirting with “Next Big Thing” status since their critically acclaimed 2003 self-titled EP, produced by Britt Daniel. The band is currently at work on their debut full-length at the Mob House in Austin. Secretly Canadian and Chosen Darkness will release this new album to be produced by Paul Barker (Ministry, Lard) and tentatively slated in early 2006. In a recent Austin Chronicle interview Christian Goyer (vocal/guitar) shed light on these new recordings stating that they will yield richer textures, different percussion, and more keyboard and electronic sounds than on the self-titled EP. The band will soon join Mission of Burma in Austin on July 15th to play Emo’s 13th Anniversary celebration.

Nice to see Paul doing stuff again. I’d love more Lead Into Gold, but I guess I’ll have to settle for he random guest appearance.
Not sure what the general consensus of this band is (I thought it was a pretty solid album), but I saw that Barker has produced another album for them. It’s been almost ten years, so I assumed they were defunct. “Dust” comes out at the end of October.
I hate them.
I’ve never heard them.
But I hate them.
Stupid name.
They must be stupid.
I hate them.
Yeah,that name is pure shite…
If Barker is involved, I’m sure it is pure gold. This is the guy? that can turn lead into gold, afterall. First day downloader for sure!
The name is great BECAUSE it’s ridiculous. You guys have no sense of humor.
Anyway, the first album was a pretty sweet bit of gothic/post-punk. And it had this awesome video.

Nothing to do with a sense of humor…I don’t see it as an ironic “so bad,it’s good” type name…I just see another pretentious,sentence long band name,of which there are way to many…
I think it works better as a porno title than a band name.

I looked at their FB page.
Related artists . . . . “God Is An Astronaut” and “A Place To Bury Strangers”.
My judgment stands firm.

The stuff I’ve heard from them was typical indie hipster crap. I hope they’ve improved over the years.
