Emile to Release “Diamanter i Solen” Single May 13
You don’t have to go far into Emile‘s new single ‘Diamanter i Solen’ to get a handle on the wistful vibe. It’s certainly there by the time the song has faded all the way in, even more certainly there by the time the first verse starts, Emile Bureau (also of The Sonic Dawn) singing sweetly in layers with some falsetto for good measure, operating under his first-name-only solo moniker as he did for his first record, 2020’s The Black Spider/Det Kollektive Selvmord (review here), which came out through Heavy Psych Sounds.
Emile followed that album with the kind-of-a-live-record-but-no-concerts 2021 complementary offering Nightshade, which was more based around acoustic guitar, but the layers here of organ, the extra vocals, and the psychedelic flourish as the track makes its way into the repetitions of its title line to close out are hypnotic and melancholy both. It’s not the kind of song that’s trying to be uplifting, but neither is it a downer for downer’s sake. It’s a classic psych-pop ballad, in other words. There’s another new song coming in Fall. The more the merrier.
Here’s the PR wire info:
EMILE – Diamanter i Solen
Single Release 13. Maj 2022
Spotify / Apple Music Pre Save: https://push.fm/ps/diamanterisolen
DIAMANTER I SOLEN is a new single release from Danish-French songwriter and music producer, Emile.
Diamanter i Solen (Diamonds in the Sun) is an ode to the early and cold Scandinavian spring, where the first cold but beautiful sunny days divide the winter dark from endless summer nights. It is a balancing act between reality and hallucination, and is dedicated to all day-dreamers alike.
The song is part of a complimentary pair of singles, reflecting the changes in nature and moods during the changing seasons. The second single Efterårsblade will be released in the early Fall 2022.
Emile released his first solo LP ‘The Black Spider / Det Kollektive Selvmord’ in 2020 on Heavy Psych Sounds Records. Aside from playing solo, Emile is also the frontman of the Danish psych band The Sonic Dawn.
