Debut EP from Diamond Thug released today
Cape Town-based Diamond Thug have released their debut EP 'Monday Will Have To Wait' today, Friday, 26 February, 2016. The EP is the band's first major release and their first release available as a physical release.
Monday Will Have to Wait’ can be purchased on iTunes.
The opening track, Beauty Through The Devil’s Door, is a hypnotic intro to the EP showcasing the beauty of lead singer Chantel van T’s vocals. Long Way is the current single from the EP and a great pop/Indie track. The single is proof of the incredible song-writing strength of Diamond Thug and is probably the most commercial single on the EP. The third track on the EP, Mind’s Eye, is a bit of a darker track and tingles the listeners' senses as Chantel’s vocals invite them with lyrics such as “I feel your desire”. The fourth and final track from the digital release of the EP is Miami - another incredible single from the band with a very sexy, seductive feel.
The singles Mind’s Eye and Long Way were recorded in Boston at The Converse Rubber Tracks Studio. Diamond Thug were chosen as one of 84 artists worldwide to record their singles at the studio. The songs were engineered by Boston rock legend Dave Minehan of Wooly Mammoth Studios, who was assisted by Matt Carlson.
Beauty Through The Devil’s Door and Miami were recorded at Digital Forest Studio in Constantia and the songs were produced and engineered by Grammy and SAMA award-winning producer Darryl Torr.
