2010 Bear In Heaven: "You Do You" (Eskmo Remix)

Carnival Youth - Never Have Enough(Kashuks Remix)

Mr FijiWiji Ft. CoMa - Submerged

Take two excellent vocalists, add an Iranian electric guitarist with a penchant for effects pedals, add one drummer with an electronic kit and a mac, throw in a seasoned bass player, a laptop wizard and the occasional violin, mix in some beautifully written songs with catchy choruses and you have music that’s pretty hard to describe but brilliant to listen to.

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. 

Here’s what he band had to say about I dreamt we were bankrobbers  – I had a dream that I was a bank robber dying in a hail of bullets with my partner by my side. It was a beautiful,filmic dream so we made a song about it. We were experimenting at the time with using the voice as an instrument, cutting up various sounds we made and using them as we might use a guitar or piano. That gave us the hook that starts the song. Tom wrote the piano in his head and programmed it into the computer. He’s always doing that. The coalition of the stuttering vocal hook and the sweeping violins and pianos effects a kind of nervous beauty.

Doing the remix honours this time around we have the talented Planas who delivers a deep dubstep infused version which complement sthe original perfectly Kicking off with Agbekor as his first release on Ranking Records. Planas aka Toby Davies has already acquired a staunch following amongst the dubstep fraternity whilst his involvement with the hotly tipped Gentlemens Dub Club is spreading the word much wider still, whilst his rather special remix of Submotion Orchestra’s Finest Hour brought yet more fans into the fold

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.

Lyrics: 

A long and dusty road
I just wanna see you lying against those waves
High elysium, my dear boy 
I wish for a time when a smile would replace fear
Emerald city, touching pearl skies
I will remain for my life in that garden of Eden

Don't you know the sky will fall down some day soon
Don't you know the sky will fall down some day soon

Mountains peaked with gold
We'll sail across the bay in the early evening
A light so gentle
Birds will fly easy in the embrace of my sail
Now boy, it's now
There is no day I'll avert my gaze
From those fields, we're lying safely in
We're maybe even held

Don't you know the sky will fall down some day soon
Don't you know the sky will fall down some day soon

Take my hand as we're falling on waves
And I'll be there soon
Light planets falling
I plan to hold you soon
Fate calls you to the grand creator

Past isles of stone only built in rain
I'll hold my gaze through stormy weather
Past isles of stone only built in rain
I'll hold my gaze through stormy weather

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process (you) do not become a monster.  And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.” -Friedrich Nietzsche 
 
War torn from past and present battles of mental illness and addiction, the monsters are very real and the abyss is a current state of reality for MXMS, short for “Me and My Shadow." Comprised of singer Ariel Levitan and multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Dawson,  the self-produced duo from New York City and small town Oklahoma creates their own musical genre “Funeral Pop” fusing classic melodic songwriting with dark unfiltered chaos driven by a thousand forms of fear.     
 
Me and My Shadow pendulum swing from raw piano and voice to an expansive pallet of dark instrumentation, pulsing analog synthesizers and a crushing rhythm section layered around Ariel’s haunting delivery.   Focusing on movements of emotional trauma and taboo metaphoric expression, the brutal honesty of MXMS leaves an open invitation for listeners' own stories rise to the surface.    
 
Their deubt EP Funeral Pop I  includes previous singles “Paris,” “After Night,” and “Gravedigger,” which garnered attention from Suicide Sheep, Earmilk, KCRW, and Spotify editorial playlists including Chill Vibes, Alternative Beats, Sludge, Just Chill, Fresh Finds, and Indie Darlings as well as the Topsify's Indie Mixtape playlist. “Paris” also hit #1 on Hype Machine the first week of release, and MXMS has received press from the likes of Consequence of Sound, NestHQ, Rolling Stone, Fader and many others.
