Fabulous Diamonds - Fabulous Diamonds (Vinyl LP)

Adorably known to friends and family in Australia as Jarrodand Nisa, The Fabulous Diamonds’ beguiling truck isa mesmerizing mix of synth, dub, and percussion, wovenaround honey-ache vocal stylings recalling (in spirit) pastAussie noisemakers Scattered Order or Makers Of TheDead Travel Fast, as well as those of Augustus Pablo,Young Marble Giants, and Suicide.Their one previous release was a 7-inch co-released byNervous Jerk and Misteltone, and it garnered praise fromthe Blogosphere and a smattering of airplay on discerningfreeform radio stations around the US. This LP on Siltbreezehas been in the works for the better part of a year;its release coincides their first American tour (along withSiltbreeze labelmates, Psychedelic Horseshit).“Borne out of a tradition that lies somewhere between classicdub, experimentalism and post punk, Fabulous Diamondsforeground a style (unique) and substance (intriguing)that come together in a hypnotic frenzy. Assembledamidst high levels of delay, this Melbourne two-piece createsa truly bewildering mix.... It’s the hit you’ve been waitingfor throughout this post post-punk mêlée we live in.Fabulous Diamonds present a world drenched in discordantjams stemming from a parallel universe of sonic intensity,one that picks up on the heritage embedded in post-punk,but recreates rather than rehashes the influence.
