Dark Dark Dark is an American folk band from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Formed in 2006, the band has toured extensively in the United States and Europe and are known for their blend of New Orleans jazz, Americana, Eastern European folk and pop sensibilities.〔"(Pitch Perfect PR )", December 31, 2010.

In March 2010 they released their EP ''Bright Bright Bright'', followed by their full-length album ''Wild Go'' in October 2010, both to critical acclaim. Pitchfork Media writes of the full length, “...perhaps Dark Dark Dark's true accomplishment here is how they mix sounds and influences so effortlessly. They comprise a tight, intuitive unit, especially when the instruments swirl together into an otherworldly eddy of sound”.〔Stephen M. Deusner, Pitchfork, 12/7/10 "()", 12/13/10〕 NPR notes how “Invie sings with a flexible, penetrating voice, shedding both light and shadow on the meaning of her lyrics”〔David Garland, NPR Music, 12/9/2010 "()" 12/13/2010〕 and Paste Magazine describes the “...noteworthy balance that’s struck between beauty, familiarity, and surrealistic imagery...”.〔Neal Cohen, Paste Magazine, 10/26/10 "()" 12/13/2010〕 The single “Daydreaming” from “Wild Go” was featured in Episode 7, Season 7 of Grey’s Anatomy and in Episode 19, Season 1 of Switched at Birth.〔ABC Music Lounge, 11/4/10, "()" 12/13/10〕 "Daydreaming" was also used as background music in the February 11, 2011 episode of American Idol and in the Degrassi: The Next Generation episode, "Jesus, Etc., Part 2". The song 'Wild Goose Chase' recently made an appearance in Episode 1, Series 6 of Skins in the UK.〔(" Skins 6 music ep1, " )〕 The band has also participated in other artistic ventures. They took on multiple roles in association with the performance-art project “Swimming Cities of the Switchback Sea”, orchestrated by street artist Swoon. This performance piece involved floating rafts made of junk down the Hudson River from Troy to Long Island City, Queens. The band not only performed music for the piece, but also helped to build the rafts. In addition, the band acted in and scored bass player Todd Chandler’s film ''Flood Tide'', which is a fictionalized narrative based on the "Switchback Sea" project. In May and June 2009, the project ventured to the Adriatic sea where it traveled from Slovenia to Venice for the Venice Biennial.〔"Flood Tide ()" 12/13/10〕 In 2008, the band participated in site-specific installations at art museums. At the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA), they performed a piece entitled "Being Here is Better than Wishing We'd Stayed," after the song "New York Song" on The Snow Magic. In the Netherlands, for the Van Abbemuseum's Heartland Exhibition, they helped build an interactive installation constructed from salvaged materials. They also performed a free outdoor concert at the museum. == Discography == Albums * ''The Snow Magic'' - 2008 (Supply & Demand Music) * ''Wild Go'' - 2010 (Supply & Demand Music) * ''Who Needs Who'' - 2012 (Supply & Demand Music) EPs * ''Love You, Bye'' - 2008 (What a Mess!
