Fans of the current DIY power-pop scene that includes Mo Troper and Young Guv will want to check out Diners, the solo project of singer-songwriter Blue Broderick. Her upcoming new album, Domino, is due out August 18 via Bar/None and was produced by Mo Troper. You can feel a sonic kinship on jangly, harmony-filled first single “The Power.”
“There’s a saying among my friends from Phoenix about “eating the whole apple” and it has to do with making the most out of life” says Broderick, “The Power is about eating the whole apple. This song is meant to ward off anxious thoughts with the power of scuzzy guitars and positive affirmations.” Watch the video below.
Diners will be on tour in August and September, including a run with Chris Farren that will stop at Brooklyn’s Elsewhere Zone One on September 9. All dates are listed below.
