David Wax Museum & Lowland Hum Present: The Golden Hours

Catch the unveiling of The Golden Hours, a new Charlottesville-based band formed by the members of acclaimed indie-folk acts Lowland Hum and David Wax Museum. These musicians have been touring and recording for over 20 years, featured on CBS Saturday Morning and NPR’s Tiny Desk, and lauded by The New York Times, Washington Post, TIME and Rolling Stone, among others. The Golden Hours’ debut record Terra Nova (to be released in 2026) includes “Day Wheel,” an NPR Music Song of the Day. The forthcoming album brings together the power of these four songwriters in an artifact that is simultaneously lush and distilled, emotionally probing, and conceptually expansive. Video: “Day Wheel” Dark Blue moves through shadow and light, tracing the wave of emotion as it rises, breaks, and reshapes us. C. Burrows invites listeners into a world where feeling is a force — unsettling, electric, and ultimately transformative. His first professional studio album, Dark Blue (2026) is a testament to the power of feeling—on how walking headfirst into discomfort, instead of away from it, can be a portal to transformation. As a practicing therapist focusing on somatic movement, Chris doesn’t just write about emotion—he lives it. Dark Blue traces the edge of every ache and the beauty that comes from staying open, even when it hurts. Guided by a team of visionary producers—Suz Slezak (David Wax Museum), Daniel Levi Goans (Lowland Hum), Anthony Da Costa (Pleasantville Recording), and D. James Goodwin (The Isokon)—the record is intimate, powerful and insistent there’s magic in facing what we fear most.
