Swami Premiere “Dumdaraka” on Friction
The last new material we heard from Swami, was when they performed in Mississauga last year.
So when I heard Bobby Friction would be interviewing Diamond and playing a new track last night, you know I had to tune in.
Diamond talks to Bobby Friction:
Highlights from the interview:
Making all the lyrics match (English, Hindi, Punjabi) is very difficult
The album will be very electronic, as it has always had a big influence on Diamond, and it will be very experimental
All live instruments were played for the album (No sampling – “but not like there is anything wrong with that”)
There will be Punjabi and Hindi influences and vocals on the album
The album is a culmination of two years worth of recording
Diamond assures the album will contain a lot of different stuff, and there will be something for everybody on there
It will be releasing at the end of Summer
(I think Bobby Friction may be the one person more excited than I am about the release)
And now for a snippet of “Dumdaraka” (Dub Upgrade Mix)
