Diary release second single, “Drive It” with visuals directed by award-winning filmmaker Nadia Bedj (Tribeca, Slamdance) and choreography by Lilly Fridlyand (Princeton University Ballet). A man moves through New York City with a body he can no longer control in the new music video .
If Diary's first single was for the party, Drive It is for the way home. With a motorik rhythm & swirling darkness, it is loosely inspired by groups like Echo & the Bunnymen or The Chameleons. Driving around somewhere before dawn in a car that dropped its power steering, driving in the wrong direction, time stretched out like an episode of the Twilight Zone.
Diary says: "The song grew out of a memory of an uncanny night, driving home with some friends. We were in an old land yacht of a car when the power steering suddenly gave out. Instead of calling for help, we decided to roll on and muscle the wheel around every turn. Somewhere before dawn, there was a realization we’d driven an hour in the wrong direction. The whole night felt like a strange dream, wrestling the car and drifting across liminal highways. Time seemed stretched, like slipping into an episode of The Twilight Zone, and that’s what this song aims to evoke."
"Drive It" & "Keep Comin' Up" are streaming now, from debut album Spiral Bound out September 4th, limited edition (100) vinyl available for pre-order now.
