Indie/Folk/ExperimentalBandcamp free download page (may hit 200 limit)
It's always a good sign for free legal releases when A well known artist jumps on the newest trend. In case you didn't notice him by the name, Nick Diamonds is a solo project from none other than Nick Thorburn. Former front-man for well known group The Unicorns and current front-man for Islands, both being based around his vocals. Nick has a special way of projecting his voice to bounce around your eardrums like a birthday kid in a jolly jump. His recent work in super group Mister Heavenly has gained wide attention which is to be expected when throwing Honus Honus of Man Man and Thorburn together.
Although I Am an Attic is mostly experimental folk with a modest addition of pop, Nick wasn't afraid to add plenty of electronics to enhance the dynamic appeal. At some points I imagined being in Egypt watching belly dancers but the guitar twangs and leads are likely to lead my child-like imagination to many beautiful places upon further repeats.
Judging by Nick's twitter page, I wouldn't get your hopes up on this being free for longer so let's embrace this small step in the right direction. Tomorrow when your friends are listening to their five year old Modest Mouse or Bright Eyes albums, guide them to Nick Diamond's official Bandcamp page where you can enter your email and receive this perfect post-BBQ release free of charge. If you'd rather stream it entirely that's available too, even on your favorite smart phones. Isn't the future fun and easy!
I Am an Attic begins right away by showing its high standards instantly. Nick may as well have started the lyrics of 'Attic' with, "See... put down the remote, sit back and enjoy." I'm sure by now you're ready to hear for yourself and I'm not one to stop you, enjoy!
