“Not unlike Lucy Dacus or Haley Heynderickx, with a lilt reminiscent of Mitski, Carli’s clear but tender voice cuts through the first few seconds like a call to attention... With thoughtful lyrics paired alongside gorgeous vocals and intricate instrumentation, “Mimi” is an impressively mature and promising debut, making Carli & The Dark an artist to keep an ear out for.”

Bio
Carli & The Dark is the project of Carli Naff, a Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter from Phoenix, Arizona.
Her songs spring from a longing for understanding and touch on issues of anxiety, existential discomfort and identity.
Her style has been described as a cross between Joni Mitchell and Lianne La Havas. Musically, Naff says she is inspired by many different artists including Fleet Foxes, Porches, and Big Thief.
Voicemail is out now on Paper Moon Records.
