about

Diamond Mantra started out as an EP inspired by life in Austin, TX. After moving to NC, the EP's songs started mingling with new songs and the project evolved into something broader and weirder. I'm both interested in and bored with gentrification and nostalgia, topics whose themes are represented heavily here. Oh, and I was listening to a lot of OVLOV.
Bonus track from Gallery Of Compromise sessions included with purchase.

released July 13, 2018

Songs 1, 3, 5, and 6 were recorded and mixed in Austin by Jesse Flores in a house on Canterbury Street. He also played drums on "Stay Warm."
All other music written, performed, recorded and mixed by Alex Livingstone. Tracks 4, 7, 8 and the original bits in 2 were recorded on four track cassette in a small house in the no man's land between Chapel Hill and Durham.
Found audio mined from old family VHS tapes and cassettes. All rights of the original owners of aired commercials and TV shows reserved for them, though I think anyone working for those companies now would be hard pressed to tell us what it is they're hearing.
Cover art is a slide I scanned that was taken in Mexico many decades ago by either my great aunt Pansy or her husband Eliot.
