LES BIG BYRD - Diamonds, Rhinestones And Hard Rain - LP - Red Vinyl

LP - Indie Exclusive Limited Edition Red Vinyl. Only 700 copies pressed in this edition.   

Diamonds, Rhinestones and Hard Rain is the fourth album from the Stockholm institution Les Big Byrd, the band consisting of Joakim Åhlund (Caesars, Teddybears), Frans Johansson (Fireside), Christian Olsson and Nino Keller (Caesars).

Diamonds, Rhinestones and Hard Rain features lyrics and song titles in both Swedish and English, but the most crucial language is its musical one, created by Joakim Åhlund and Frans Johansson when they formed the band in 2011 and nurtured lovingly since, especially since the former took back control of the production side of things on Eternal Light Brigade. Closer ‘The Night Bus’ is an especially striking demonstration of just how far Les Big Byrd have come over the course of the past decade or so; an electrifying twelve-minute odyssey that buzzes with nocturnal energy, bringing in swells of brass, twinkling pianos and sparkling synths. It is the sound of this most exhilaratingly adventurous of bands continuing to obliterate their boundaries.

Long, improvisatory excursions and suggestive soundscapes unfold during some of the album's 6 tracks. Although they never lose touch with their melodic sensibility, offering up a look into a more suggestive and psychedelic side to the band.
