Lightning Dust - Diamond

Cracking song here from Vancouver twosome Lightning Dust, something of a departure from the organic electro-folk of their eponymous 2007 debut and 2010’s Infinite Light, though the spine-tingling Arcade Fire-esque melodies remain. Josh Wells’ bouncy keys wrap themselves around Amber Webber’s honeyed twang and his own basic beats like pastry round a dubious looking pork sausage. The result is just as delicious.

Fantasy, the duo’s third album, is out June 24 via Jagjaguwar.
