Black Diamond Bay - Speak Slow (B.earnd Analogue Edit)

Black Diamond Bay return with their latest single Speak Slow, taken from their impressively eclectic and wonderous ‘Come The Desert’ album. The band have building on their fantastic live reputation this summer with a recently confirmed slot on the BBC introducing stage at Reading and Leeds Festivals in August.

Speak Slow is based around a repeated vocal hook performed first by female (Agne Motie) and then responding male (Jesse O’Mahoney) vocalists. It’s a sensual promise between two young lovers that whispers in your ear, it lies on your tongue and seduces you with it’s subtle and ever evolving instrumentation, until it creeps into your heart and refuses to leave. Of all the myriad of genres BDB fly through this is the most perfectly executed, and the most revealing of their songwriting prowess.
