2 is the second album by L.A. band Darker My Love and is the first to feature Will Canzoneri on both organ and clavinet. It was released on 5 August 2008. The artwork for the album was done by lead guitarist/vocalist Tim Presley. Several of the songs on 2 were previously performed live in a different arrangement under various working titles, appearing on the set of live albums Darker My Love recorded during their Spaceland residency in 2006. Bassist/vocalist Rob Barbato reportedly compulsively consumed two tablespoons of apple sauce between vocal takes on the song "Two Ways Out." The album was mixed by Tony Hoffer.
