PRE-ORDER: Mahogany "The Dream of a Modern Day (Warren Defever Remaster 2026)" LP (Limited Edition) [Reissue]

A new remaster by Warren Defever. Limited edition of 1000 black vinyl LP. LP in die-cut jacket and heavy inner sleeve to ship September 2026. 

First released on cult Detroit space-rock label Burnt Hair Records in 2000, the stunning debut album from 12 string-wielding NYC ensemble Mahogany abides as a perennial touchpoint in the shoegazing canon. The one we listed as MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! It's our favorite record from 2000 and we're very happy to offer it to you as a Darla record.

Back in print with a 24-bit remaster from original source tapes by Warren Defever (His Name Is Alive/4AD) at Third Man Mastering, the LP edition also features the original die-cut jacket with full-color heavy inner sleeve in matte finish.

The Dream of a Modern Day is Mahogany's progressive, optimistic idealism made manifest: brilliantly composed, skillfully arranged, and thoroughly expressive. Influenced by the austerity of early Factory Records as well as the grandeur of Cocteau Twins, the signature Mahogany aesthetic combines the robotics of drum machines with the delicacy of richly reverbed guitars, cello, and floating vocals.

The brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Andrew Prinz, Mahogany dovetails elements of post-punk, shoegaze, and classical into futuristic, architectural compositions. Performing live with artists like Anika, A Place To Bury Strangers, Bloc Party, Broadcast, Interpol, Lovesliescrushing, Luna, Spoon, Vampire Weekend, The Veldt, and Ulrich Schnauss, Mahogany garners continued acclaim with reviews and features in Post-Punk.com, Brooklyn Vegan, NME, and more.
