Self-described as “21st Century ‘80s Music”, Diamond Field is an album that lives up to its purpose and album cover color scheme. More than yet another nightdriving mixtape or beefed-up action movie powerballad pump, this album will take you take you back to the sounds you’d hear on public access television on a sunny Sunday afternoon. The album manages to keep a refreshing sense of variety whilst also tapping into a distinct pocket of eighties nostalgia. Diamond Field’s aesthetic will definitely come off as an acquired taste, but if you’re in need of some flashy, tacky pop tunes that take you back to those days of poptimistic commercialism, Diamond Field is that sweet fix you’ve been waiting for.

 

Diamond Field’s self titled debut is out now on Bandcamp via Sofa King.

BACKGROUND

TO LIVE AND DIE ON THE AIR was really the track that defined the whole writing process for the new LP. I happened to hear the bass line very distinctly, straight out of nowhere, while watching the final scenes of William Friedkin’s TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A. – a certain segment of the film that had no underlying score to it. I had to literally pause the movie and run to my DAW to let the song out of my head. The whole thing was practically ready after that one quick session. I thought it sounded good, so I asked the very talented Mr. Cody Carpenter if he felt like checking it out and, eventually, coming up with something. He did like it, then went on to record a lead synth section with absolute creative freedom: when I heard his temporary mix for the first time I was almost in disbelief, completely blown away. I’m very much in love with the final results and I’m forever grateful for Cody’s incredible contribution, as I’m thankful to Mr. Friedkin for the raw inspiration that exudes from all of his works.

A DANCE OF SHADOWS is to be released on OCTOBER 1st.
