NICK DIAMONDS NEW SINGLE
Nick Thorburn (aka Nick Diamonds) is a Canadian musician, composer and producer best known for starting and co-fronting the cult indie rock band The Unicorns when he was still a teenager. The band’s first full-length album Who Will Cut Our Hair When We’re Gone? was named one of the Top 10 Albums by Pitchfork in 2003, receiving critical praise from around the world. After only one year of touring, the band imploded on stage in Texas in 2004, due to internal friction. Thorburn immediately went on to form the band Islands, signing with Anti- Records and eventually releasing 5 full length studio albums and touring the world, with appearances at festivals as diverse as Coachella, Primavera Sound and La Route Du Rock.

Like, he thinks he’s really smooth but he’s the only one not in on how ridiculous he is, and it’s getting closer and closer to last call.”

It sounds like me, it doesn’t sound like any other artist, the beats, the mix, the content, some of the controversial shit I say. It’s just different, I’m glad that it’s not what nobody else is doing or talking about.” Watch a video introducing the project here.

LANGUAGE ARTS PREMIERE U.S. DEBUT SINGLE ‘NEIGHBOUR’
Able Island was recorded in 2014 on what Cudmore, Neil MacIntosh (Drums/Percussion) and Joel Visentin (Keys/Synth Bass) call their “floating studio”, during a Trans-Canada tour in basements, hotel rooms, alleyways, and the back of their van, using homemade microphones, capturing the sounds of wind blowing down a stove pipe, the crackling of a fireplace, the voices of their audience, making reverb chambers out of large soup pots, and mixing as they drove through the Rocky Mountains. Produced by Language Arts, the songs were handed off to their kindred collaborator Darryl Neudorf (Neko Case/The Sadies) to mix, and Peter Moore (Neko Case/Neil Young/Joni Mitchell/Sloan) to master.
