Check out some of the early reviews:
“Applied with engaging productions and arrangements, the music captures the spirit of the pioneering MTV era and classic Brat Pack movie soundtracks. Like a high tech K-Tel compilation album but from the baton of one conductor, this is perhaps the most cohesive multi-vocalist album since the only long player to date by KLEERUP which combined electro-soul, synthpop, Italo, kosmische and ambient. DIAMOND FIELD has successfully thrown in new wave, synthpop, funk, R ‘n’ B’ and AOR into one escapist pot.” – Chi Ming Lai, the Electricity Club UK 7/30/21
“The result is an eclectic wonder of a record that is masterfully unique and that can stand alone with its own perspective and amalgamation of musical DNA, transcending a plethora of genres. It gives its retro flavor, but without being too affected or too honed in on trends, paying utmost respect to dynamic, nuanced writing afforded by the wide range of Diamond Field’s influences. The complex layers in the composition and the arrangements, along with the distinctive choice of vocalists showcase a seasoned, bold musician and producer with a vision that he can call his own. All we can say is Bravo! This is a record that everyone must listen to and take notes from.” – CZARINA, Absynth.Space
The new album from Art Schop “Starguide” is out now.
I put together the artwork for this release using a cover painting by William Chajin for a CD didipak with 12 page booklet.
The music is themed on space and our interactions with it, continuing Art Schop’s body of work exploring the human condition in an avant-rock sphere.
I also shot publicity photos and produced a lyric video for the album track ‘Black Hole’.
After a run of outstanding singles, on July 30th NYC’s Diamond Field is set to release their self-titled debut album of 10 brand new songs, shimmering with the sound of the 1980s.
Diamond Field’s Andy Diamond worked on the album with vocalists and musicians from across the U.S., to Scotland and New Zealand. All fine artists in their own right, vocalists include Cody Carpenter (Ludrium, John Carpenter), Chelsea Nenni (Late Slip), Nik Brinkman (Junica, Over The Atlantic), Belinda Bradley (Selon Recliner), Kyle Brauch (MIDWAVE, Rain Rabbit), Becca Starr and Miriam Clancy, with return appearances from previous Diamond Field collaborators Nina Luna and Matthew J. Ruys. The Saxophone Warrior (Felix Pastorius’ Hipster Assassins, Fischerspooner, Lord Huron) makes a special appearance on sax, with LA’s Rodger Cunningham on guitar. Andy has also performed and recorded with many of these artists outside of Diamond Field, making the collaboration process feel like a musical family affair.
Diamond Field’s sound is inspired by ‘80s producers like Hugh Padgham (Phill Collins, The Police), Rupert Hine (Howard Jones, The Fixx) and Peter Wolf (Wang Chung, Survivor), whose production techniques mixed traditional instruments with the latest tech of the time. On Diamond Field, electric guitars, bass, and ‘real’ drums are combined with drum machines, sequencers, and synthesizers; vocals are up front and stacks of backing vocals regularly fill out the choruses.
For the songwriting, inspiration comes from many places – from ABBA to Michael Sembello, The Go Go’s to Orchestral Maneuvers In The Dark. Careful attention is given to song arrangements – intros to draw you in, pre-choruses build, choruses soar, solos and middle eights keep you engaged. Hooks are everywhere and stick in your head – this is “ear worm central”! Despite the varied song styles and different vocalists, Diamond Field still feels like a cohesive album – like a compilation of pop hits, but all from one artist.
All the album’s tracks were written before the covid-19 pandemic with final mixing taking place over the course of 2020 and early 2021. By chance, many of the song lyrics deal with hope and positivity, and combined with the album’s catchy music, it makes Diamond Field an ideal soundtrack as find our way forward.
The physical release will be available on limited edition hot pink vinyl with a 12x24” insert and on high quality cassette distributed via LA-based boutique vinyl label Sofa King Vinyl. In 2019 Sofa King Vinyl released Diamond Field and Bob Haro’s ‘Won’t Compromise’ on colored 7” vinyl, the first title in Sofa King’s “Synthy Sevens” series which included 7” vinyl releases from Let Em Riot, TEEEL, Palm Lakes and Glitterwolf. Sofa King Vinyl’s previous releases include Opus Science Collective, The Motion Epic and Australia’s much loved synth duo Client Liaison.
Note: Due to increased production times, vinyl and cassette availability will be available later in 2021.
I’ll be playing bass with New Zealand ssinger/ongwriter Abby Holden, Monday August 2nd at Pete’s Candy Store, Brooklyn.
Free entry, 8:30pm.
