New Music: Diamondtown Weigh Your Life Against Time With ‘The Voice’
There’s a curious thing that happens in the process of recording music: by necessity, there is a time delay. Which isn’t a reference to any pedal effect, but rather the circumstances created because studio time often happens as its own pace, and musicians, as a result, can find themselves recording Christmas albums late in the summer.
