Diamond Field - Vehlinggo Podcast Interview

Andy Diamond from Diamond Field features on the new Vehlinggo Podcast for an in-depth interview about the Vehlinggo theme song (produced by Diamond Field) and the upcoming Diamond Field album. There's also a preview of a track from the album featuring the awesome Rat Rios.

Episode 102 features an extended interview with synthwave artist, producer, visual artist, and podcast host Andy Diamond (AKA Diamond Field). Features somewhat interesting monologues from Aaron and music by Nola Wren + Kill Dave, Symmetry (Italians Do It Better), Diamond Field, OGRE/Dallas Campbell, and a few more you'll have to discover via listening. Aaron and Andy discuss everything from the state of synthwave to the album he's working on, Donald Trump, FM-84, and how he made lemonade out of the lemon podcast theme song demo Aaron gave him. THERE'S ALSO A TEASER (FEATURING RAT RIOS) OF A CUT FROM DIAMOND FIELD'S FORTHCOMING ALBUM.

Lynchland Members Mix #1

Available to stream now - the David Lynch - Lynchland Members Mix #1 featuring Diamond Field and the Black Lodge Girls (Lucy Black, Jazzi Marzcat and Havana Chase) with Chris Ward on sax, with a cover design by myself, featuring an original photograph I've always though was vey 'Lyncherian'.

The song's lyrics are by Havana Chase and are inspired by "A Real Indication” by Angelo Badalamenti And David Lynch From The "Fire Walk With Me" Soundtrack.

As Lynchland describes the compilation:

"A few weeks ago, we asked our members to share their musical creations with us (via www.fb.com/Lynchland). We didn't anticipate receiving such a positive response: about one hundred songs were submitted, and we had a very difficult time choosing only fifteen to appear in this first mix....

Thanks to John Fryer from This Mortal Coil, who submitted a fair amount of fantastic tracks for us to chose from; to Johan Reinholdz, from the great metal band Andromeda (www.facebook.com/AndromedaBand/); and to Kevin Wolzt, who helped with the sound design.

A special thanks to Andrew B. White, who created the cover art and appears in the mix as Diamond Field, a great synthwave project that we highly recommend."
