For those who don’t know Diamonds of Neptune, give us a short spiel of the band in under 40 words.
We are a five-piece band with a unique take on the indie-dream rock genre. We will take you on a journey blending sounds of psychedelic-pop with heavy synth and heavenly guitar tones.
Tell us about your new self-titled album. What is the story behind it? What inspired it?
We first started working on the album about two years ago. We wanted a strong collection of songs that were sonically cohesive, yet also paired with our emotional states and the chronicle of our changing lives.
Are there any bands or musicians that stand out as particular influences for you guys?
We each have our own individual influences, but as a whole we are influenced by bands like Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, The Temper Trap, Northeast Party House and Tame Impala.
What can we expect from your upcoming album launch at The Evelyn Hotel?
We will play the album in full as well as some of the old classics for the fans. We will have a specially curated projection show as well to accompany our set. A cheeky cover or two may also be in there, but we can’t give away all our secrets now!
Any other upcoming shows or Diamonds of Neptune news on the horizon that fans should keep an eye out for?
We will be playing a vinyl launch at Wah Wah Records next month then we will be touring the album along the east coast later in the summer. Deets will be on our Facebook page soon.
Check out Diamonds of Neptune’s new self-titled album, out digitally on Monday October 14. They’ll be launching the record at The Evelyn Hotel on Saturday October 26. Grab your ticket via the venue website.
