Apparantly this was not the album, but a collection of EPs… DOOHHH!!!!
Toronto – Marina & The Diamonds is the stage name for one Marina Diamondis, some chick from Wales. I had her confused with the similarly named Florence & the Machines (another band I am listening to). I guess the ‘Diamonds’ aspect of the name refers to her fans or something. Her ep The Crown Jewels is available here. I’ve been listening through out the week and it’s pretty good. Whereas La Roux and Little Boots are pure pop, it seems like Marina and the Diamonds has a bit more substance. Marina’s defintely got a powerful voice know hows to use it. If I had to classify her music against current female lead bands, it would somewhere in between Ida Maria and Little Boots. She’s not as angry as Ida, but not as saccharine as Little Boots. The lead single ‘I am not a robot’ is pretty catchy and the video is visually captivating.
