There’s a sort of confidence to be garnered when age-old piano melodies make even the dustiest sentiments sound like truth. Minneapolis chamber-folk sextet Dark Dark Dark are set to drop their next album “Who Needs Who” October 2 via Supply and Demand and it’s sure to be full to the brim with the musical equivalent of antique photos from a seemingly more romantic time. “How It Went Down” is a haunting preview of what’s to come, much like a trailer for some heart wrenching unreleased film from when your parents were kids. Or that’s how I see it. Comparisons like this are bound to be made all over the place. There’s something idealized in it, even if it does offer truth, a feeling that everything will work out in the third and final act. The song’s delicately graceful buildup offers a sense of escape behind a painful reminder that nothing really changes.
