With their second album Fabulous Diamonds II out on Chapter Music on June 19, Fabulous Diamonds are setting off around the countryside to bring their lurching, reverb-heavy but still somehow sensually alluring sound to your capital city.
A few weeks short of its physical release, the record has already been enthusiastically received in the digital blogosphere. “Without question the most exhilirating, immediate thing these two have done so far,” trumpeted Gorilla Vs Bear, while The Fader opined “check them out now before the hopeful frenzy.”
Below is a list of each upcoming opportunity you have to check them out, although the frenzy has actually already begun. Recorded by Eddy Current Suppression Ring’s Mikey Young, Fabulous Diamonds II is one of the year’s most intriguing albums, and their live shows take transcendental grumpy hypno-pop to a whole new level!!
