Complete List of Album Covers
I’ve just added to the website a list of album covers that I have worked on over the years. The list is in alphabetical order and I will be adding any new titles that come up. I think mostly everything is on here but there are bound to be some omissions. Currently the count is at over 600 covers and it includes everything from promo releases, singles and EPs to full albums. It also includes any projects I’ve had a hand in, from full design to simply overseeing the production. Only about 1/3 of these titles currently appear on Discogs so I will try to add them up there, when I have time.
Diamond Field - The Album
Diamond Field releases their debut album on Friday, July 30th 2021
After a run of outstanding singles, on July 30th NYC’s Diamond Field is set to release their self-titled debut album of 10 brand new songs, shimmering with the sound of the 1980s.
Diamond Field’s Andy Diamond worked on the album with vocalists and musicians from across the U.S., to Scotland and New Zealand. All fine artists in their own right, vocalists include Cody Carpenter (Ludrium, John Carpenter), Chelsea Nenni (Late Slip), Nik Brinkman (Junica, Over The Atlantic), Belinda Bradley (Selon Recliner), Kyle Brauch (MIDWAVE, Rain Rabbit), Becca Starr and Miriam Clancy, with return appearances from previous Diamond Field collaborators Nina Luna and Matthew J. Ruys. The Saxophone Warrior (Felix Pastorius’ Hipster Assassins, Fischerspooner, Lord Huron) makes a special appearance on sax, with LA’s Rodger Cunningham on guitar. Andy has also performed and recorded with many of these artists outside of Diamond Field, making the collaboration process feel like a musical family affair.
Diamond Field’s sound is inspired by ‘80s producers like Hugh Padgham (Phill Collins, The Police), Rupert Hine (Howard Jones, The Fixx) and Peter Wolf (Wang Chung, Survivor), whose production techniques mixed traditional instruments with the latest tech of the time. On Diamond Field, electric guitars, bass, and ‘real’ drums are combined with drum machines, sequencers, and synthesizers; vocals are up front and stacks of backing vocals regularly fill out the choruses.
For the songwriting, inspiration comes from many places – from ABBA to Michael Sembello, The Go Go’s to Orchestral Maneuvers In The Dark. Careful attention is given to song arrangements – intros to draw you in, pre-choruses build, choruses soar, solos and middle eights keep you engaged. Hooks are everywhere and stick in your head – this is “ear worm central”! Despite the varied song styles and different vocalists, Diamond Field still feels like a cohesive album – like a compilation of pop hits, but all from one artist.
All the album’s tracks were written before the covid-19 pandemic with final mixing taking place over the course of 2020 and early 2021. By chance, many of the song lyrics deal with hope and positivity, and combined with the album’s catchy music, it makes Diamond Field an ideal soundtrack as find our way forward.
The physical release will be available on limited edition hot pink vinyl with a 12x24” insert and on high quality cassette distributed via LA-based boutique vinyl label Sofa King Vinyl. In 2019 Sofa King Vinyl released Diamond Field and Bob Haro’s ‘Won’t Compromise’ on colored 7” vinyl, the first title in Sofa King’s “Synthy Sevens” series which included 7” vinyl releases from Let Em Riot, TEEEL, Palm Lakes and Glitterwolf. Sofa King Vinyl’s previous releases include Opus Science Collective, The Motion Epic and Australia’s much loved synth duo Client Liaison.
Note: Due to increased production times, vinyl and cassette availability will be available later in 2021.
