After the release of their critically acclaimed record “in • ter a • li • a”, AT THE DRIVE In gives us a brand new EP in time for Black Friday Record Store Day. Produced by Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and mixed by Johann Scheerer, “Diamanté” includes three songs that the band announced via cryptic message. “How do you weaponize the insatiable thirst for life among vultures? How do you deprogram the coroner dissecting hiatus? What light beckons you from the sewers of suggestion? Is your instinct extinct? Or does it hide in the flash burn of counterfeit automatons? Five boys with guilty slingshots swaying to the Midwitch Sound. Blinded by the “Diamanté.” Grab a 10″ from RISE RECORDS on the ‘’Doublemint’ / ‘Black’ AsideBside vinyl!
