"Baby listen up, I will speak slow, give you something to believe, something you cannot control. And I'll give you that flash, chase together dreams, give you something none of you could ever have forseen."
Black Diamond Bay return with their latest single Speak Slow, taken from their impressively eclectic and wonderous 'Come The Desert' album. The band have building on their fantastic live reputation this summer with a recently confirmed slot on the BBC introducing stage at Reading and Leeds Festivals in August.
Speak Slow is based around a repeated vocal hook performed first by female (Agne Motie) and then responding male (Jesse O'Mahoney) vocalists. It's a sensual promise between two young lovers that whispers in your ear, it lies on your tongue and seduces you with it's subtle and ever evolving instrumentation, until it creeps into your heart and refuses to leave. Of all the myriad of genres BDB fly through this is the most perfectly executed, and the most revealing of their songwriting prowess.
Completing the package are remixes from Nah and Rooge, and Olegin 10, the esteemed winners of our recent remix competition. For those budding remixers out there, do sign up to our various SoundCloud pages as we have run some excellent competitions recently which have resulted in releases through Exceptional Records for the most talented.
Nah and Rooge are two talented Italian electro and dubstep producers. These guys are so fresh out of the box you'll find very little about them online, and only a handful of recordings. They're currently putting together their debut album and are definitely ones to watch for the future.
OLT aka Olegin10 is an audio engineer, producer, sound designer and Graduate of the School of Audio Engineering (SAE) in Miami, USA. Olegin10 has now been successful in two Exceptional Remix competitions, having had his remix of Audioglider's Coming Up For Air released as part of the album of the same name. His technically stunning remix of Speak Slow shows the extent of his audio mastery.
Black Diamond Bay are a Leeds based 6 piece who, as the line up suggests, bring together a wide array of influences. Is it folkie ? indie ?? electro??? indie folkatronica???? Who knows and does the label really matter? Like all good music this is unclassifiable What counts is the power of the music and Black Diamond Bay stand out as a band with the live intensity and magnetism to endure for more than the regulatory '15 seconds of fame'. Describing themselves as musical magpies, who make off with pieces of genres and ideas that sparkle melding them into something that is only theirs they have the classic combination of great songs, and consummate musicianship.
Black Diamond Bay already have a colourful history that includes a childhood Eurovision experience, broadcast script writing, being the number one act on a popular Lithuanian website for 2009 and playing the main stage to great acclaim at Kendal Calling, with support coming from BBC Radio Leeds, Kiss, 6 Music and XFM even before they actually released a record
The first single 'Worship The Sun' was picked up by Mixmag featuring in their March podcast it also got 8/10 in iDJ Magazine where the reviewer struggled manfully to explain why the band sounded so good but could only conclude that they just did. More play and support came from BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 1 , Tom Robinson and Eddy Temple Morris.
