Brooklyn-based synth artist Diamond Field made a grand full-length debut last Friday with a shiny, star-sprangled self-titled album. Self-described as “21st Century ‘80s Music”, Diamond Field is an album that lives up to its purpose and album cover color scheme. More than yet another nightdriving mixtape or beefed-up action movie powerballad pump, this album will take you take you back to the sounds you’d hear on public access television on a sunny Sunday afternoon. The album manages to keep a refreshing sense of variety whilst also tapping into a distinct pocket of eighties nostalgia. Diamond Field’s aesthetic will definitely come off as an acquired taste, but if you’re in need of some flashy, tacky pop tunes that take you back to those days of poptimistic commercialism, Diamond Field is that sweet fix you’ve been waiting for.
Diamond Field’s self titled debut is out now on Bandcamp via Sofa King.
