The b-side to the forthcoming 'You & Me' 7" from Diamond Rings (out Nov 15th via Astralwerks) is this lovely sounding cover of 'Mellow Doubt' by Teenage Fanclub. It sounds like something you'd hear on a TOTP2 show, but not the cheesy stuff, the sort of track that makes you go "I remember those guys! They're flippin' fantastic." We love pianos.

Photo credit: Eric Weiner This past Friday night, New York City was treated to a show of epic proportions. The evening began with Diamond Rings , a one man act that was exactly as the name suggests: bright, vibrant, but at times in need of a little more embellishment. Despite catchy melodies and John O's booming, deep voice, songs that involved only a drum track and keys failed to really fill the room with sound - likely the result of a bad mix. When he began incorporating more guitar, [...]
