After the first album was done, I was itching for more power. Had no pieces that made sense in my working library, so Albi suggested this piece he'd had sitting on the shelve from a couple years earlier. I felt an idea for words and vocals out and Diamantes was born.
"a LA-via-Texas collective helmed by Raymon Imag [Ray.Moan Eemaj] They make music which draws from a kaleidoscope of influences, skipping from alt-R&B to murky electronica with howling post-rock guitars to Smiths-style indie balladry. Lyrically, upfront, down-and-dirty lyrics about gay sex hide universal themes of insecurity, dysfunction and a need for connection."
