The first three tracks and the entire back half of the record are highlights for me lol "Emerald," "Becca," and "Swim" in particualr
New project from Ted Bradley (who plays in Empty Country) and Joe. Double album The Diamond District coming in 2026 and here is part of the band's bio: The album’s sonic identity is inseparable from Joseph D’Agostino, whose work with Cymbals Eat Guitars and Empty Country shares a similar sensitivity to emotional architecture. Bradley and D’Agostino met over a decade ago, bonded over songwriting, and eventually found themselves playing together in Empty Country’s only live shows. Their shared instinct deepened into a kind of creative shorthand: weekends tracking guitars and vocals at D’Agostino’s house, reimagining “Boomerang,” insisting that “Everyday Is The Same” belonged on the record, pushing each other toward choices neither would have made alone. D’Agostino’s role as producer, engineer, mixer, and collaborator wasn’t about perfection – it was about clarity of intent.
