Long distance relationships rarely work out

Vancouver’s Diamond Dancer is a collective of long-time friends whose past is checkered with forays into hardcore punk and a present full of shimmering guitar hooks and shoegaze overtones.  They’ve recently released a five-song EP called Will You?, to which I answer, “Yes, I most definitely will.” The three piece classifies their time as members of bands Jakartah and American Geography as “dysfunctional”, but from the sounds of things, Diamond Dancer is well on the way to recovery. “the track I’ve posted below, “Long Distance Relationships Rarely Work Out” is an impressive, epic ballad that sort of reminds me of Songs From the Big Chair-era Tears For Fears (an album that I have long loved and cherished).  They’ve definitely got an ambitious sound, and the more I listen, the more I’m digging it.

The band are planning a release show a week today (July 26) at The Astoria in Vancouver, alongside Pizza Sub and Bath House.
