false leads to dead ends i will open up again in buildings combed with mold across this capitol I’m coming down as this city falls asleep down off my two worn feet I’ve grown so cold transport me and guarantee an opiate drug death visit me and adorn me my grave with babies breath I’m dreaming again of living without end and that crooked way i hold all i really love if this is fate then you’re not just a face that i will get to know transport me and guarantee an opiate drug death visit me and adorn me my grave with babies breath

about

Diamond Jubilee EP follows the our debut full length Romances You, which Stereogum thoughtfully described as, "A woozy, weary, uniquely modern strand of indie-pop... drifting through that space between dreams and waking life." The name for the EP came to light during the weekend of the Romances You release show back in April 2015. As we drove toward Fort Macomb (the extraordinary fort in the finale of True Detective, Season 1) we passed an amusing roadside casino called Diamond Jubilee. The name stuck with us, as did the weekend as a whole.

Nick van Hofwegen (of Young & Sick), who remixed Romances You track "City of Gardens," lends his vocals to several tracks on the EP, including "All My Friends Are Dead," which saw its premiere through Gold Flake Paint. The song was born from a concept that had permeated Dennis's mind -- the concept of someone isolated with a library of books, made to experience life through others' words and no human interaction. "It ended up being a conversation about facing mortality and the metaphysical struggles against the Western Judeo-Christian moral compass that I was raised in," he tells Gold Flake Paint.

Diamond Jubilee streamed in full at Heartbreaking Bravery —. "Heartrending and heartbreaking in equal measure, Diamond Jubilee finds Bent Denim hitting their stride... The most remarkable work of their career"
