The new Diamond Field single “Belinda” is out now on all streaming platforms and Bandcamp.
“Belinda” captures the sound of the mid-1980s FM radio with mid-tempo ballad about yearning, lost love. Featuring lush synths, clean 80s electric guitars, powerful vocals from Jenny Bates and a soprano sax solo by Nathan Haines, “Belinda” gives all the feels you'd get from the soundtrack to a John Hughes movie!
Album artwork for Nathan's Haines' album "Zoot Allure".
This album is a reworked version of Nathan's 2014 album "5 A Day" and the artwork also reflects this, being a reworked version of the original cover photo by Frederike Helwig.
Released on UK label Papa Records, the album also includes two remixes of 'Got Me Thinking' from Opolopo and Bugz In The Attic.

Out now is the new album from Nathan Haines "5 A Day".
I designed the artwork for the physical LP and CD release around photographs of Nathan shot by Fredericke Helwig in London.
Just released is a new album from Nathan Haines Vermillion Skies.
This follows on from last year's The Poet's Embrace and in keeping with that release we designed artwork that fitted the feel of a traditional jazz album without the trap of coming across kitch-retro.
Photography is by Adrian Malloch.
Vermillion Skies debuted at #5 in the New Zealand Top 40 album chart (April 5, 2013) between Bruno Mars and Justin Timberlake and is available on CD (Super Jewel Box) and limited edtiton 12" LP.
Congratulations are in order for Nathan - The Poet's Embrace won the award for 2013 New Zealand Jazz Album of the Year - the NZ equivalent of a Grammy or ARIA Award. The Poet's Embrace will be released in Europe on the Warner Classics in May 2013.
