It’s going to be a very busy fall for Diamond Rings. He’s already dropped a Tunnelvision documentary, released the limited-edition Something Else 7”, wooed crowds at Pop Montreal, and is currently in Reykjavik for the annual Iceland Airwaves festival. As if that wasn’t enough, we’re pleased to announce his latest video for the single “Something Else” along with tons more tour dates across North America and the UK, highlighted by a jam-packed schedule at CMJ.
You can check out the new video here. “Something Else” will appear on Diamond Rings’ debut album Special Affections out October 25th across North America. We’re now accepting pre-orders for the CD and LP. You can also currently pre-order from iTunes and Amazon.
As soon as John O is done in Iceland he’ll be bouncing over to New York for a very busy CMJ that’s bookended by an official showcase at the Stereo-Gun Party on October 20th, and Pitchfork #Offline on October 23rd. The Special Affections tour then kicks off October 26th in Toronto, and dates have been added in Montreal (Halloween!), Vancouver, LA, San Fransisco, Chicago and more. New dates will be added in the coming weeks as well. The complete tour dates are below. Be sure to join the Diamond Rings mailing list for more up-to-minute details.
