"Alternate World", from the album Lanterns, now available at Joyful Noise Recordings. bit.ly/14jPwRe

Written, Performed & Recorded by Son Lux

Vocals - Ieva Berberian, Cameron Schenk, Aaron Strumpel, Shara Worden
Mandolin - Chris Thile
Pedal Steel, Bass - Christopher Wray

Ryan Lott Music (ASCAP) administered by Domino Publishing Company USA (ASCAP) © 2013 Joyful Noise Recordings + Son Lux / sonluxmusic.com

"The sound that kicks off this song, and the record, is the fluttering voice of Shara Worden combined with Chris Thile's tremolo mandolin. In order to create the vocal sound, I recorded Shara singing three short 'ah' sounds on every pitch in her range. I snipped them all up, and using a sampler, mapped them so that I could 'play' her voice from a keyboard. Then I used some fancy programming to make each 'ah' repeat as I hold down a key, or more specifically, to 'bounce' like a ball propelled by gravity... and then reverse itself. The result is that each 'ah' bounces rapidly and gradually smears into the next, creating the illusion of a held note, and then spreads out again. When 'playing' the voice this way, an extra-natural vocal articulation is achieved, but the sound of the instrument itself is entirely acoustic, and even human. This bit of technical geekery is a play on 'alternate world,' presenting the familiar in a strange new light." - Ryan Lott

Lyrics:
ALTERNATE WORLD
ALTERNATE AGE
ALTERNATE LIFE

OH OH, WE'LL SHED OUR SKIN
WE'LL WALK THE OTHER SIDE
OH OH, WE'LL BRACE FOR IT
AND CONQUER EVERYTHING
OH OH OH 
AND CONQUER EVERYTHING

OH OH, WE'RE MAGICAL
WE'LL WAKE THE DEAD FROM SLEEP
OH OH, WE'LL SHED OUR SKIN
WE'LL WALK THE OTHER SIDE
OH OH, WE'LL BRACE FOR IT
AND CONQUER EVERYTHING
OH OH OH

TEAR ME AWAY, FROM THIS FIGHT
TEAR ME AWAY, TAKE ME TO AN...
ALTERNATE WORLD
ALTERNATE AGE
ALTERNATE LIFE

ALTERNATE WORLD
ALTERNATE AGE
ALTERNATE LIFE

MAKE WHAT WE BELIEVE
DON'T WE MAKE WHAT WE CAN

Diamond Thug’s latest single ‘The Woods’ is a story of two lovers lost in a forest of disconnection and emotional isolation. Introduced with an industrial synth progression, the song metaphorically speaks to the difficulties of maintaining a relationship in the modern world by comparing the emotional journey to a walk in dense woods.

Disconnection in the online world of connection is contrasted by the comfort, yet overwhelming magnitude of the natural world. The imagery of the lyrics depicts beautiful scenery, moon shadows, gripping summers and dense green forest, with an underlying darkness of the disconnection one feels by walking at one’s own pace. Chantel Van T’s eerie, yet powerful vocal melody is supported by a driving and pulsating rhythm section, building in tension and density as the song progresses to its climatic second chorus in an explosion of distorted guitars and melodic synth lines. The song was written across continents, with Chantel Van T writing and recording the vocals in the French Alps, while the band recorded in their home city Cape Town.

Diamond Thug - The Woods

"’Backpush’ is a song about feeling stuck in a self-destructive cycle of one's own mistakes and self-doubt. It's about staring at the sun in the depth of winter, coming to terms with one's imperfection and opting for a more playful attitude in accepting that we habitually fuck up and may continue to do so but that’s part of human nature. We make mistakes. This song is a big release of the pent up frustration of feeling stuck. Sonically it throws back to the 2000s pop-punk we grew up listening to."

“Their music can move you, excite you and perhaps even - dare I say it - inspire you.”

“Diamond Thug’s come-hither voice dances through salty beach air” - Billboard

“Chantel Van T’s vocals are like smooth honey to your ear drums…a joy to listen to” – Indie Shuffle


In 2016 the South African band, Diamond Thug, recorded their debut EP with the help of Dave Minehan (The Replacements) and released it to waves of support, Indie Shuffle calling it ‘…a joy to listen to’. After significant support at Spotify in their home country, where they have now had several million plays, and with the wind in their sails, Diamond Thug introduce their music internationally with their single ‘Eclipsed’, an evocative track that takes influence from the likes of Warpaint, Tame Impala and more.

Since their formation, Diamond Thug have continually evolved, always striving to create a unique sound that’s stay true to their perspective. Their music glides through dream-pop, skittish, off-kilter electronica & psychedelic-rock, creating cosmic-influenced ethereal soundscapes, which swirl below Chantel’s haunting, yet beautiful melodies. The pursuit of an authentic & honest sound has earned the band various honours in international competitions such as Culture Collide’s pick to perform at SXSW 2017, as well as Converse’s Music Global Takeover and the attention of Grammy Award winner Darryl Torr, who had this to say about the band: "When listening to Diamond Thug, you are taken on a journey. It’s the effortless vocals, supported by a solid band, that tips you over the edge & pulls you through into their world. It’s rare to find a voice that can execute such interesting melodies so effortlessly as well as a band that leaves space for the vocals to shine, yet are able to maintain musical integrity."

Their new single ‘Cosmic Dreamer’ is out Aug 4th 2017
