Capping off a triumphant year of live shows worldwide and the critically acclaimed in • ter a • li • a (Rise Records), At The Drive In has yet another surprise in store for fans: available exclusively for Record Store Day’s Black Friday, the band will be releasing Diamanté - a 3-song EP on 10-inch vinyl via Rise Records, out November 24.

Ahead of the EP’s release, the band offers a cryptic message behind Diamanté: “How do you weaponize the insatiable thirst for life among vultures? How do you deprogram the coroner dissecting hiatus? What light beckons you from the sewers of suggestion? Is your instinct extinct? Or does it hide in the flash burn of counterfeit automatons? Five boys with guilty slingshots swaying to the Midwitch Sound. Blinded by the DIAMANTÉ.”

Produced by Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and mixed by Johann Scheerer, the EP was recorded at Clouds Hill Studio in Hamburg, Germany in the summer of 2017. Diamanté will only be available at exclusively at your local independent record store on Record Store Day’s Black Friday (November 24)—to find yours, head on over to recordstoreday.com.

After the re-launch of seminal imprint NovaMute with an EP from Nicolas Bougaïeff, Terence Fixmer takes over the reins. Fixmer’s career has spanned two decades with releases on many acclaimed labels. He has been accredited with pushing the boundaries of techno EBM and for the last few years has found a home at Ostgut Ton. Having remixed VCMG on Mute in 2015 and Depeche Mode in 2017, Fixmer’s contribution to the NovaMute catalogue is a natural fit.

'Dance Of The Comets is a three track EP exploring the fringes of techno and hypnotic dance music. The title track is the most dance-floor ready cut with a thumping bass drum and kick. ‘Orion's sci-fi sequences use mesmerising drones, whilst 'The Silence' is an eerie exercise in which otherworldly whispers are centred by a compelling bass motif.

After a ten-year hiatus NovaMute, the subsidiary of Mute (Depeche Mode, Goldfrapp, New Order, Liars, Moby), is back. Beginning in 1992 NovaMute released records from acclaimed electronic and techno artists such as Plastikman, Speedy J, Juan Atkins and many more.
