Diamond Thug – 'Backpush'
South African dream pop outfit Diamond Thug release ambient new single ‘Backpush’.
Pulsing basslines and steady beats make up the rhythmic backbone of ‘Backpush’ and create a solid foundation for a track that thrills with soaring vocals and an electrifying chorus that seems to break free from any limitations. "’Backpush’ is a song about feeling stuck in a self-destructive cycle of one's own mistakes and self-doubt,” the band reveals. “It's about staring at the sun in the depth of winter, coming to terms with one's imperfection and opting for a more playful attitude in accepting that we habitually fuck up and may continue to do so but that’s part of human nature.”
Intensely infectious, ‘Backpush’ is the ideal soundtrack to shaking off your daily frustrations and dancing into a better mindset.
