The new album by The Diggs is out (and streamable for free at thediggs.com) and it is by far their finest achievement. There are catchy, peppy, punky tunes and there are soaring, emotional, dense, “Death Cab For Cutie”-esque forays into the sublime. Also, much like The Police, there are wry lyrical references to earlier songs for longtime fans. There is also the sparing use of glockenspiels here and there. Who knew glockenspiels were sexy instruments? And speaking of sexy, did you know the bass player was voted hottie of the week?
