Diamonds is the first single from the forthcoming Dancing Heals album; a tune that’s been kicking around their Myspace for months and a highlight of their live set. I must have listened to it a few dozen times towards the end of last year, and a few dozen times since. The verse is unassuming, a starry twang of guitar and a dreamy vocal melody that builds gently toward the chorus, pulls back, and builds up again. When you finally get to it, the chorus just knocks you off your feet. Everything is drenched in reverb, a wall of sound, but the melody cuts through and absolutely fucking soars. Earnest but epic songwriting.
