‘Remove The Veil (Remix)’ by Diagram
The Berlin-based musician Hákon Aðalsteinsson, originally hailing from Iceland, can be found fronting neo-psych outfit The Third Sound and gloomy alt-country troupe Gunman & The Holy Ghost, as well as being the live guitarist for The Brian Jonestown Massacre and Anton Newcombe’s ongoing collaborations with Tess Parks.
Now, Hákon is also turning his attention to another project: an electronics-inflected endeavour going by the name of Diagram. His debut album under the new moniker, titled ‘Transmission Response’, was released May 17th 2019 via Fuzz Club and the 12 tracks that finds a home somewhere between a pared-back, synthy post-punk sound and atmospheric dream-pop hues.
When it came to preforming live Hákon recruited fellow Third Sound band member Fred Sunesen to create a more exciting live experience and to make the live sound heavier and fuller. In that form the band toured central Europe as well as doing a handful of Berlin shows.
In March 2020 the band released a collection of songs, that had already been written by Hákon, under the name ‘8 Tracks’. The digital only release was intended as an experiment to develop the band’s sound further before they would get to work on their next actual album.
Meanwhile Fred started remixing few of the songs from the debut album and those reworkings will be released as digital singles.
The first one of the remix singles is ‘Remove The Veil’ accompanied by a video shot by Antonio D’Orazio and edited by Fred.
