Dark Day is a one-man band led by Robin Lee Crutchfield, formed after he left DNA in 1979; the project produced dark, synth-based records such as Exterminating Angel.

Robin Lee Crutchfield founded Dark Day after leaving DNA (a New York no wave group he co-founded with Arto Lindsay). Exterminating Angel was released in 1980 (Lust/Unlust) and featured contributors such as Steven Brown (Tuxedomoon). Reviews describe the project's music as dark, minimal synth/post-punk with links to no wave and early 1980s underground New York.

Reviews on DeBaser present Dark Day as a one-man project by Robin Lee Crutchfield rooted in late-1970s New York no wave and early minimal synth. Exterminating Angel is repeatedly praised as an important, enigmatic early record. Later work (Darkest Before Dawn) is noted as more accessible and synth-driven.

For:Fans of post-punk, No Wave, darkwave and minimal synth; listeners who like Joy Division, early Kraftwerk and shadowy electronic music.

 It's time to come to terms with the so-called "dark" scene, once and for all!

 Dark, monotonous, listless, and sad notes that transport us, with a fatalistic tone, before a God even more cynical than a corporate executive.

 The genre can be classified as minimal synth pop, and so far nothing new, but there is more in these thirty-six minutes of music.
