Originally released 2011.
Two of the most popular collaborations from Darren’s January Songs project were ‘I Know I Fucked Up’ with Elizabeth Morris of Allo Darlin’, and ‘Who Hung The Monkey’ with the Wave Pictures.

Darren’s extensive online songwriting project from January 2011 finally receives its physical debut. A deluxe gatefold package with 2 full colour inner bags. Limited 1500 copies. Every single cover is hand drawn by Darren. That’s right, every single cover is an individually unique image.

A six-track 10-inch EP with a hand-printed sleeve, Christmas In Haworth features four songs – ‘The Christmas Wars’, ‘Lost In The Snow’, ‘Christmas In The Boiler Room’ and ‘Photos Like Postcards’ – written and recorded in Haworth, West Yorkshire, during Christmas 2010. ‘Branwell’ was recorded the following July, and ‘Ruby’s House’ was written and recorded (in Ruby’s House) in June. The EP accompanies Darren and Tom from Fika Recordings’ curated digital advent calendar of Christmas songs, which is still available at http://www.fikarecordings.com/christmasinhaworth/
I Taught You How To Dance – Vinyl EP
Originally released 21st November 2011 on Fortuna Pop.
‘I Taught You How To Dance’ is the sole single from The Ship’s Piano. Sweet, gentle, and with just a hint of sexual tension, it offers an ideal sampler of the warmth and complexity of Darren’s solo piano album. ‘I Taught You How To Dance’ is available on 10-inch 4-track single only, and also features three covers of other songs with ‘Dance’ in the title: ‘Dance Away’ by Roxy Music, ‘I Don’t Want To Dance’ by Eddy Grant and ‘Come Dancing’ by the Kinks.
