Island Diamonds

The Los Angeles 'hypnagogic' duo crafts a deeply tribal, trance-inducing album utilizing heavy dub-echo, primitive percussion, and hazy vocal chants. Co-founded by Best Coast's Bethany Cosentino, the project completely abandons traditional song structures in favor of swirling, lo-fi psychedelic improvisation that feels like a forgotten cult ritual. It remains a fascinating highlight of the late-2000s cassette-culture underground.
