The three members of the sparkling indie-pop trio Diamond Doves spent years backing up Elvis Perkins In Dearland, and they've also collaborated with My Morning Jacket and Bon Iver. Earlier this year, we posted their song " Eat Your Heart Out ," the title track from their forthcoming album. Now we've got a new song from them, a bright and glimmering track called "To Life." Listen below. Read More...
Brooklyn based, somewhat Beatlesque Americana-Pop mainstays Robbers on High Street will be releasing a new EP, "Anything Could Happen" on April 21st 2012. In honor of this effort, the band will be playing a record release party with Diamond Doves (who used to be Elvis Perkins' backing band) at the Mercury Lounge on the day of the release. The doors will be opening at 7:30 PM with Diamond Doves set to play immediately, so get a good spot. Both bands are known for their exciting live shows so this promises to be a fun evening. [...]
![[hot off the press] Diamond Doves//Eat Your Heart Out](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4023154_lg.jpg)
Diamond Doves was formed in 2010 by longtime friends and musical collaborators Nick Kinsey, Brigham Brough and Wyndham Garnett. The sound of Diamond Doves is the meeting of their three distinct vocal, instrumental and compositional personalities. With a seemingly endless instrumental palette and a penchant for genre-hopping, Diamond Doves draw from a wide range of influences both foreign and domestic, new and old. Their sound at times recalls the mass and drive of Funkadelic, the studio experimentation of Os Mutantes and the democratic ethos of The Band, yet it clearly owes a lot to the [...]
Diamond Doves high-step over the line between forward thinking indie and ear-pleasing Beatlesian pop. Perhaps better known as the magic makers behind the band Dearland (sans frontman Elvis Perkins), this trio has been hard at work on their debut album, due this spring. (They also played backing horns for My Morning Jacket for their recent concert at Madison Square Garden. No big deal.) Stream the single "Eat Your Heart Out" below.

Debo decir que esto es algo que me tomo por sorpresa debido a que ya tenia un muy buen tiempo sin saber nada sobre Elvis Perkins y, seguramente muchos de ustedes ya lo conoceran e incluso sabran que en uno de los aviones que se impactaron contra las torres gemelas iba precisamente su madre y bueno, creo poner a darme explicaciones y referencias a este tema seria un poco desviarnos de lo que realmente ha querido transmitir este tipo a traves de su musica. El, tiene editados en solitaro dos albums de estudio de los cuales en lo personal les [...]
Dearland minus Elvis Perkins is Diamond Doves, and together they play vibrant, Americana-tinged indie rock paired with electronic beatscapes. Their debut will be out in the spring and its first single, the title track "Eat Your Heart Out," is streaming below. Read More...
diamond doves - "club night" (download) Diamond Doves consists of 3/42s of Elvis Perkins in Dearland . (Though I'm not sure who the extra person is in the above photo). They have been the horn section for My Morning Jacket , Bon Iver , Clap Your Hands Say Yeah , and others. Lately, I've been finding some of their straightforward, catchy songs stuck in my head. Check out their track "Hey Lady" as well. [...]

Editor's Note: This is the first official guest post by blogger, music-writer pal, Joy Wagner. Her Brooklyn home-base provides a good perspective from our Eastern Citizen Dick Campus, as Citizen James has been MIA, illegally hunting rhinos in the Asian Steppe. I have been in the depths of another school-year onset, and have been MIA completely. Big thanks to Joy for heading out to catch this show. Elvis Perkins put out one of the best records in the last few years, and 'The Dearland' portion of that record is [...]
Our friend Nick Irving went to see Rubblebucket at Brooklyn Bowl last Friday night and got some amazing shots from the band while they rocked the first of two shows that night. Openers Diamond Doves and Janka Nabay and the Bubu Gang got things started that night. [...]
I have found music to be kind of stale over the last few weeks and kind of abandoned my new music search in favor of my go to favorites like The Faces on Pandora Radio. After feeling like my neglect was getting out of control, I was perusing one of my go to music blogs ( RCRDLBL ) and came across this track ' Club Night ' by Diamond Doves . A menacing arrangement just over four minutes including a horns, violins, guitars, vocal harmonies as well as effects, and increasingly intense drums. This is [...]
We keep covering the 107 artists that made our Best of NYC Emerging Artists 2010 list - Diamond Doves placed at #99. For the last five years, the three members of Diamond Doves have been Dearland, writing and touring with Elvis Perkins. Their "breakaway" enterprise has a similar folksy Americana feel as their past work, yet stands alone, exuding boundless energy, and their revolving cast of horn, fiddle, and keyboard players creates a chaotic sound you can't help but dance and sweat to. [...]
This weeks round up of the tracks that I haven't had the space to post... Wildlife From: London, United Kingdom Urgent indie with a psych twist . Why can't all music be this good. Go Try dont expect (rough vocal mix) [...]

The March 17 show (tonight) includes openers The Woes and comedian Max Silvestri . The March 24 show is being opened by Last Good Tooth . The March 10th show [...]
Today's song is "Hey Lady" by Diamond Doves. The guys in DD have an interesting background in the indie rock community, having played as the horns section for bands like My Morning Jacket, Bon Iver, Dr. Dog, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and Okkervil River among others. They're also members of Elvis Perkins in Dearland. [...]
Time for you to take notice to Diamond Doves . What they have going for them that is quite nice, is a sound that ranges many different styles. You’ll listen to these 3 songs posted below and you’ll see what I mean by that. “Is There Any Hope” is a hard as nails indie rock track that has a mariachi backhanded sound going on. “Hey Lady” is the mid-tempo love song that starts to bring the soul more in. FInally, “Club Night” as the title implies is the most dance-ready tracks with the vocals almost being unrecognizable if your [...]
A few years back I was blown away by Elvis Perkins on one of his first ever shows in England with the band that later became known as Dearland. The individual performances and overall song structures blew me away and inspired one of the first posts on this blog. Diamond Doves for to all intents [...]
Initially, Diamond Doves sound like the kind of slow-burning jam band that one must be in a particular state of mind to listen to. But with patience and a little bit of exploration, one discovers some interesting touches in each of the three tracks we offer here. The creativity sets them apart from bands with [...]
Here's one of three debut tracks from Diamond Doves . You can hear the other two new tracks from DD here . "Club Night" has melody, layering, and song structure that you'd expect from an indie rock band, but the cracking drums are going to make you nod your head like you're listening to a hip-hop song. Plus, the horns. These guys do horns, and they do them well. The guys in DD have an interesting background in the indie rock community, having played as the horns section for bands like My Morning Jacket, [...]
I admit electronic music doesn't get very far with me. I'm pretty much the least hip person ever and my tastes lie much more with something centered around a good old fashioned guitar. However, every once in awhile something a little different catches my ear. This is the case with Diamond Doves . You may be actually be familiar with another project this band has: Elvis Perkins In Dearland . As I got further through the Diamond Doves catalog (yes, I liked them enough to hang out on MySpace streaming) I found some [...]
