PRESS "You expected Charli xcx to drop one of the British pop albums of the year – rather less so a bloke from Rotherham, known only in the deep underground, playing and recording everything himself at home. Don’t wait for the inevitable cult reappraisal and deluxe reissue in 30 years’ time – get on this masterpiece now." Ben Beaumont-Thomas - The Guardian Love Is A Flame In The Dark included in The Guardian 50 Best Albums Of 2024 "Rotherham based singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Karl D’Silva’s ‘Love Is A Flame In The Dark’ is nothing less than the pop album of the year so far – ten muscular, perfectly crafted songs, hot and alive with sincerity and conviction..." Claire Biddles - The Wire Magazine Love Is A Flame In The Dark included in The Wire Magazine 50 Records Of The Year 2024 "Musically, South Yorkshire has been a region that has historically punched above its weight, one of the country’s great producers of artistic iconoclasts. The 70s’ greatest jazz guitarist, John McLaughlin, was kicking around the streets of Donny before he took his skronk across the pond, whilst Threads-era Sheffield was the backdrop for The Human League, Cabaret Voltaire and Clock DVA as they crafted a form of tetchy synthesiser music that thoroughly inverted the saccharine pop music of the era. Rotherham’s Karl D’Silva fits perfectly into this lineage." Cal Cashin - The Quietus Love Is A Flame In The Dark reviewed in The Quietus Karl D'Silva on the Heads On Sticks Chats podcast talking about Love Is A Flame In Dark UPCOMING LIVE PERFORMANCES (click links for tickets)
