Le Diamant Brut: Black Gold & Kat Edmonson
Eric Ronick and Than Luu have spent a large portion of their music-making careers backing up other groups. Now, the two Brooklyn multi-instrumentalists have joined forces to craft some of the most melodic, atmospheric, melodramatic tunes merging pop, indie rock and electronics that two natural musicians can muster. Their debut, Rush, came out earlier this year, and it utilizes the infectious sounds of keys, strings, guitars and beats to create a lullaby that’s hard to wake up from.
