| The Diamond Age - Demo |
This is pretty much brand new
stuff people. I'm talking hot off the presses, cellophane wrapped, price tag
still on and covered in that new car smell. Southampton duo The Diamond Age
have minimal buzz and seemingly not much of a following but what they do have is
a picture of a bearded man water skiing and a serious sense of melody. The
first of these two tracks, 'Andrew's An Android', has a smattering of Vampire
Weekend and early Bombay Bicycle Club about it to begin with but by the end of
the tune it has turned in to a Hot Chip vs LCD Soundsystem duel of epic disco
proportions with Transformer refereeing. 'Yesterday Was' is a more straight
down the line indie guitar romp with a late 80s feel to it channelling the
Style Council and Squeeze but the freshness and energy is delightfully
refreshing in the cynical, too cool for school musical world that exists these
days. They won't be underground for long folks so catch a whiff while there's
room for your nose at the trough.
