Waverly Records is proud to announce the release of Love Bomb by recording artist Darien Brahms on Valentine’s Day 2026. This ten-song album is Brahms’ ninth full length release of original, self-produced music and will undoubtedly prove to be one of her best works thus far. From start to finish, Love Bomb, takes the listener on an epic, relatable lo-fi journey that details the ebbs and flows of falling in and out of love. The record’s ten tracks are infused with all the vulnerability, sensuality, joy and pain that such a journey entails and were produced with a nostalgic nod to an earlier era when catchy, skillfully crafted love songs by the likes of the Kinks, Karen Carpenter, Donovan, and the Beach Boys blared from car stereos and transistor radios while America sang along. Love Bomb epitomizes Brahms’ knack for creating a musical experience that was best described by music critic and historian Brett Milano (A History of Boston Rock and Roll) as “an odd but grabbing mix of sophistication and raw edges” that is delivered with sharp guitar hooks and a deep and soulful voice.
