Feeling trapped and isolated is a way of life in Western North Carolina. From the former milltowns akin to Drexel to the tourist driven city of Asheville, it’s easy to be in debt and alone until you’re gray. And so the tale of Greensboro, North Carolina’s Israel Darling began. Born out of 21 year old frontman Jacob Darden’s coming-of-age trials and tribulations, Israel Darling is Darden, Jeff Bechtel, Isaac Crouch, Anna Harris, Edwin Mericle, and Ben Welner.

Israel Darling released their debut album "Dinosaur Bones and Mechanical Hands" in August 2009 under Engine Room Recordings.
