Low Vs Diamond: Melancholy Meets Hope

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

Low Vs Diamond is an alternative, rock, pop band that exhibits a new wave sound in the song “Life After Love.” Field’s voice powers out angst, yet singing spaced lilting notes that weep in “I’ll Be.” The opening has a Pink Floyd quality and the music builds to a rockin’ pace.

The keyboards take the fore in “Stay Awake” during the opening which builds to a full sound with guitar and drums adding heavy emphasis, and the song flows effortlessly in and out of this pattern, then ends with a strong flourish. In “This Is Your Life” the cymbals flash and the tapping high-hat sounds cool, while the keyboards soar high notes like a flute, and the guitar rages just enough coming to a bombastic end.

They’ve already released an EP called “Life After Love” on the Marrakesh label. The band sounds like Roxy, Bowie, Pink Floyd, and XTC mixed in a blender with their own creative style commanding the notes, chords, melodies, and beat into a fresh musical mosaic.

They have a debut album happening this spring. The lead vocalist, Lucas Field, has an eclectic taste in music and enjoys melodrama, and writes insightful lyrics about the melancholy emotions, while never divorcing hopefulness and optimism. Low Vs Diamond creates an atmosphere of dark musical fiction, combining it with the airy melodies that exude light.

The band members are Lucas Field, lead vocals/guitar, Anthony Polcino, guitar, Jon Pancoast, bass, Tad Moore, keyboards, and Howie Diamond, drums. The band formed back in 2002, while Field, Diamond, and Moore attended the University of Colorado and played in a jam band. They now call Los Angeles their home.
