I originally came across this duo via the website for Melbourne-based gallery now now. Jarrod Zlatic had posted his top 5 – which included the Hamburger Allstars “I Woke Up”, and I knew I had to check out his band.
Listen to The Hamburger Allstars + I Woke Up
Composed of drums, saxophone, synthesizer, and a prominent delay pedal Fabulous Diamonds channel the quirkyness of the Flying Lizards while slowing it down and underlaying it with simple, sparse, dub-ed out beats. Nisa Venerosa’s vocals contain hints of Ana de Silva and, to their benefit, they keep their songs short, avoiding any potential slide into a disorganized muddle of reverb. Excellent.
