Nightshade is the debut full-length from Los Angeles-based duo DVA Damas. Recorded between 2010 and 2012 by composer / producer team Taylor Burch and Joseph Cocherell, the album follows up the group's sold-out 10-inch on Downwards, Brand New Head. Nightshade mixes the western sounds of Ennio Morricone, the processed mechanics of late-'70s industrialists, and the heavy heartbeat and conceptual production of dub, exploring a territory somewhere between the spacious vistas of a Sergio Leone film and the claustrophobic, menace-filled spaces defined by masters like Stanley Kubrick.
