Five years since the release of their debut full length album, Dianas' record Baby Baby is a culmination of the band's intricate history and their interlacing musical connection. Last winter, Nat, Caity and Anetta spent some time away from the hustle and escaped to a haunted farmhouse on the outskirts of Victoria to write, and this collection of 12 songs is the result.
In true Dianas Do It Yourself fashion, the album was then recorded and mixed by their very own Nathalie Pavlovic, resulting in a sound that is inextricably theirs, capturing their raw energy as seen on the stage and shaping it into an angular astral orb ready for your listening pleasure.
The album is darkly atmospheric, mathy, uninhibited, bewitching and truly like nothing else happening in Australian music right now. A bit Kate Bush, a bit Bjork, a bit Sonic Youth, Baby Baby features complex guitar parts duelling over pulsing drums and lyrics exploring womanhood, self perception and relationships with a gothic twist.
After almost a decade of playing together, founding members Caitlin and Nathalie have developed an intimate musical language through their duality in tone and phrase, nailed to the ground by Anetta's driving whirlpool drums. Baby Baby is the sound of Dianas inviting you in to their private universe and letting you in on their secrets - if you dare take the plunge.
