The woozy, gravity-defying psychedelia of Diva Dompé sounds more like an artist searching for a place to land rather anybody who's arrived, but her reverb-smothered sonic explorations do make for a long, strange trip over the course of her debut album "The Glitter End" (out earlier this month on Critical Heights ). Now just doing business as Diva, the daughter of Bauhaus' Kevin Haskins has been growing from project to project since the middle part of last decade, when as a teenager she played with her sister Lola in Black Black. She was a member of the [...]
DIVA - GLOW WORM from Lily X. Wahrman on Vimeo .

Rather than explaining the majestic swoop of now-defunct L.A. psych troupe Pocahaunted, it's best to experience the improvisational execution behind their throbbing, freeform drone in a stream-of-consciousness mode. One of their main contributors was bassist/vocalist Diva Dompe , who recently said goodbye to the notion of tagging herself in bands to follow the solo route with last year's cassette-only release The Glitter End .

I mean, aren't we all [...]
MP3: Diva - Glow Worm I was meaning to post something from once-Pocahaunted live player Diva's The Glitter End a while back but it was probably good to wait cos this trippy teen slumber fantasy video highlights the lite, woozy dub loops perfectly. Visually on at least a partial Geneva Jacuzzi linear/soft focus trip, but this sort of layered nearly-pop sends it off into pure daydream visions. blog / buy
Diva : Glow Worm - Video/MP3 MP3

Here's a murky, woozy jam from former Pocahaunted bassist Diva Dompe , taken from her trance-inducing solo debut The Glitter End .

Grab the mp3 and check the New Age-y video (starring Diva and Lily X. Wahrman ) below: mp3: [...]
