WEED DIAMOND

Transparent posted "Let's Burn One Down" by Weed Diamond today and I was instantly thrilled. Weed Diamond, a.k.a. Tim from Denver, was super quick to respond to mine inquiries and shot his demo over at blazing speeds thru the intra-waves. Already enamored, I couldn't stop listening, with each song as homespun, heartwarming and effortless as the next. I suppose weed-as-influence isn't a new thing (ain't a bad thing neither), but the headier Tim's jams get, the more they resonate. Beneath billowing plumes of exhalation, one finds the same falsetto-laced psychedelic paths tread by the likes of Woods, nostalgic Doo-wop twangs that could've been snatched straight from The Sandlot and of course all that gritty fuzz errbody's ears must be accustomed to by now. Get over to Transparent for sure and check "Let's Burn One Down" HERE, then indulge in a couple more:

Weed Diamond - Nothing to Write Home About





Also, watch out for Weed Diamond on the Friendship Bracelet Club Vol. 2.




EDIT:

In fact, Tim has been kind enough to offer up his entire demo for sharing and caring. Let's go crazy:
