Meeting at music college in Manchester, their four contrasting personalities result in detailed, interwoven arrangements inspired by the likes of Big Thief, Dirty Projectors and Alvvays. Since then, Diving Station have worked together to self-release two distinct EPs: Alice and Feather Mouth. Both these releases demonstrate the ethereal, energetic and lyrically poignant material that the band have become best known for.
Working with producer Hugo Meredith-Hardy in the lake-side surroundings of his studio in Cambridge, Diving Station have found inspiration in their tranquil surroundings. Whilst their debut EP ‘Alice’ shows a raw and organic sound; their sophomore release ‘Feather Mouth’ brings to light a more focussed approach. Most recently their latest single ‘Film’ shows the band in a sonic in which they excel.
In their short time together Diving Station have already appeared at Glastonbury, Bluedot and Dot to Dot Festival and made bills alongside esteemed bands such Caro, Thyla and Cherry Glazerr. Making headway on radio as BBC Introducing favourites, Diving Station have been shown support from Guy Garvey, Steve Lamacq and Tom Robinson at 6 Music, with Bob Harris also showing support at Radio 2.
Diving Station are:
Anna McLuckie – Clàrsach & Vocals
Sean Rogan – Guitar
George Burrage – Bass
Barnabas Kimberley – Drums & Vocals
“What a fantastic sound they make ... Good good stuff” - Bob Harris (BBC Radio 2)
"Some of the most enchanting music coming out of Manchester" - Creative Tourist
“Properly beautiful … full of fascinating anthemic abstractions and swooning otherworldly ambiance, but packed with triumphant and massively effective songwriting” - Piccadilly Records, Manchester
"There’s no point waiting around for their golden years for that moment, this bunch is already in their heyday." - The Skinny
