NYC cult icon kidcreoleband is back with 'Checkin' My Colonies' -- and a new label
And yet today sees the release of a surprisingly modern offering called "Checkin' My Colonies" under his old moniker – and it comes out on his own label, the recently founded 2C2C. So what changed? Well, nothing – it's just he couldn't keep his mouth shut.
With his longtime friend and wife on board, 2C2C has been a bit of a family affair so far – in fact, the shiny, psychedelic vibes of the sonically immersive "Checkin' My Colonies" come from producer Youngr, who just happens to be his son Dario Darnell, and his other son Lorne Ashley.situation, though. "My sons have wanted to do this for me for quite some time. Finally, they called me up and said, 'Will you please come to the studio, we have something for you.
Darnell says he ultimately "let them get away with it" -- because no matter what happens, it's a "win-win situation" in his book. "When I moved to Hawaii four years ago, I noticed there was a lot of angst," Darnell, who splits his time between Sweden and Maui, says. "The whole aloha thing was a farce, because there's so many angry Hawaiians about their history. And I realized this is just another colonial takeover story that we are so familiar with, like Australia and Africa."
"We didn't want to go into one direction – we wanted what we called Rainbow Music, to take all those influences, wrap them up and create something new," Darnell recalls. "And that's what we did, and it was very successful for us in Europe, though not as successful for us in America."
