Electric 80s groove
The song ‘Diamond Drug’ by the Tiber Twins has exactly that electrifying groove that immediately gets into your body. I quickly notice how the lively beat literally forces me to dance, and at the same time, the simplicity of the song keeps it wonderfully catchy and harmonious.
I find the vocals particularly strong, sometimes solo, sometimes in duet. They sound warm, pleasant and are perfectly embedded in the mix. This is where I see the real quality: the mastering is so harmonious that no sound covers the others, but all elements are allowed to shine side by side.
What also grabs me is the clear 80s synth-pop aesthetic that carries the song. This is also reflected in the cover artwork. Anyone who, like me, loves this nostalgic sound should listen to the complete EP ‘The Sound Of Eden’. The Tiber Twins prove that you can bring the charm of new wave and Italo disco into the present without losing the magic.
