New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Foxoxygen Drummer Takes Center Stage With Theatrical Masterstroke; "
Everyday" Streaming Now Via Stereogum: https://bit.ly/1QOPFyl
Shaun Fleming - aka Diana Coffee - will release his second full length LP on
September 4th via Western Vinyl. 'Everybody's A Good Dog' is the first true realization of Fleming's
Little Shop of Horrors -meets-Aladdin Sane vision, recorded in a proper studio with an assortment of guest artists, horn section, and string ensemble (all firsts for Fleming). The resulting 11 tracks are a sky-scraping sound kaleidoscope, touched with euphoric instrumentation and dark lyricism.
Just as
Diane Coffee's debut LP, 2013's 'My Friend Fish,' was inspired by Fleming's move from sunny California to New York City, 'Everybody's A Good Dog' took shape after this former Disney child actor and current drummer for Foxygen uprooted again from NYC to the much smaller town of Bloomington, IN - "spontaneous moves have always helped to inspire my writing" he explains. This downsizing provided Fleming with a blank slate to create - "I missed the quiet. I missed having a fire. I missed the color green."
The songs on 'Everybody's A Good Dog' capture this sense of clarity, channeling the New York Dolls or
T-Rex at their strutting-est and Meatloaf at his most theatrical, with shades of Motown-worthy soul. The gentle psychedellia on opener "Spring Breathes" gives way to a pounding prog breakdown, "Mayflower" leads with a monster funk-fueled horn riff, while on "Tams Up" Fleming fronts his own one-man doo-wop group.
'My Friend Fish' was met with acclaim from NPR Music, Paste, Consequence of Sound + more. NME called it "a revelation" and Q declared it "superb."
Diane Coffee will also tour later this year, including dates with of Montreal and Luna. Full routing below.
