DIVA - Inverted Image | Video Feature

Diva returns with a refined version of the lullaby atmospheric song craft that she has previously presented on The Glitter End. This time Diva Dompé has updated her recording process or something as "Inverted Image" offers a much clearer and dare I say studio sounding version of her work and it suits her well. The subtle and haunting melodies created here all rest upon the bed of a slowly grooving bass line & the small flutter and squelch of synths.

The video does a fantastic job at capturing Diva's fairytale nature. It is presented through a monochromatic lens that creates a sharp vision of a world that could be taken from the dreams of a child. Dompé travels throughout singing and swaying throughout the lullaby groove and shimmering world that has been created around her.

Diva's album Moon Moods is  available now on cassette via Leaving Records and CD & Vinyl via Critical Heights.

This is an update of sorts on a previous Last Nights post. We first mentioned Diva back in April after being turned onto her tunes by Leyna Noel (aka Psychic Reality) & have been listening ever since. Luckily the label Critical Heights has stepped in to give Diva's debut The Glitter End. The album has become a Last Nights favorite since it was 1st played on the speakers a couple months back. & is perfect for some hot summer nights. One of the standout tracks from the album Glow Worm, video above, perfectly showcases Diva's bubbly pop side. You should really check it out.

Speaking of bubbly pop songs for those in the Brooklyn area this weekend you should definitely make it out to Shea Stadium Saturday, July 2nd for Sore Eros, Psychic Reality, Octo Octa, & special guest DJ Jonas Reinhardt! The show is all ages & is $7, with cheap drinks for the 21 & ups. Check more details here & here.

Out of the ashes as they say... or something like that. Anyway it seems like a lot of people are doing pretty good following the demise of Pocahaunted. Now we have music from the likes of Psychic Reality & Best Coast to listen to. T0 add to that list here is Diva Her music melds a number of contemporary sounds, Ducktails & Sun Araw come to mind, while at other instances harking back to Syd Barret's acid tinged solo work.

After a few listens to her self-released cassette The Glitter End I realized that Diva can actually write some terrific songs! Poking through all the synth squiggles, some unbelievable hypnogogic pink floyd moment, & drum samples appear some great songs.

You can buy the album from Diva's bandcamp or a cassette straight from the artist. Did I mention you can choose your own price for the download?
