DIANA (which includes members of Destroyer’s band) has finished recording an album, but in advance of it’s release they’ve released a dreamy single that recalls aspects of Nite Jewel and Toro Y Moi while doing it’s own new romantic thing.

“Born Again” skitters with lo-fi drama while simultaneously delivering a crisp neon 80s vibe that would fit perfectly in a slow motion montage of lovers driving down the 10W at sunset in an imaginary John Hughes/Michael Mann movie.

Until the proper release of the full length, I dare you not to listen to this soundcloud of their first proper single, “Born Again,” on repeat.

Born Again by D I A N A
