If you were a fan of the band Tunng, you’ll find plenty to love in Diagrams. Recently signed to Full-Time Hobby, Diagrams remind me heavily of that band crossed with a bit of Gruff Rhys and as it turns out they are old friends of Tunng. There’s a jovial folk feel to the songs and ‘Antelope’ in particular skips along at a frolicking pace. How delightful you say!
Indeed.
Quite.
The band’s debut 5-track EP is out next week. You can hear it all here and ‘Antelope’ below:
