Latin Grammy Award-winning rock band from Colombia, Diamante Eléctrico has just been announced as part of the final line up for Coachella 2017. They are back with what promises to be a strong follow up to their previous album ‘B’, their third album titled ‘La Gran Oscilación’ (The Great Oscillation).

This new studio release, totally analog, was recorded in Bogotá with the help of a Third Man Records engineer and analog wizard Joshua V. Smith, known for his work with Jack White, Beck, The Dead Weather and more. “We wanted to make a record that represents us now– we’re in a totally different place than two years ago,” states Juan Galeano (vocalist).

To some “La Gran Oscilación” might be a little bit more experimental and conceptual, bouncing in and out of time much like the band’s musical heroes Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and so on. It’s not what you’d call ‘easy’ but it adds a level of profundity to the band’s sound, not heard on ‘B.’

“Placebo” the first single of the record was released late July. It is one of the more upbeat tracks on the album, with easily-identifiable ‘Diamante’ guitar riffs peppered throughout the song, layered on a hip-hop feeling drum beat, and strong rhythm guitars and bass.

When speaking about “Déjala Rodar”, Juan Galeano adds: “It has a rockabilly and blues feel to it. The guitar is the protagonist. It’s the first time we’ve used a wind section – it resembles the recording of a band recorded in the 50’s”. The second single was released exclusively on Billboard.com .

Diamante Eléctrico had a whirlwind year with their album ‘B’. They won the Latin Grammy for Best Rock Album, toured the United States and Mexico, and opened for The Rolling Stones and The Foo Fighters in their native Bogotá.

The band has broken barriers both in the Colombian and rock scenes, with their unorthodox song structures, honest lyrics, and unrivaled energy, making it impossible not to move to their songs. As their sound is maturing, rest assured that Diamante Eléctrico will hit us with an album equally sweet and gloriously intense this fall.
