Mummy Diamonds – “One More Chance”

Los Angeles-based alt-pop band Mummy Diamonds have released an ethereal new track, “One More Chance”. James and Shanna Stein, the couple behind Mummy Diamonds, make music which blends dream pop, alt-rock and folk elements. Their haunting vocals and harmonies give their tracks a cinematic feel. “One More Chance”, for example, carries influences from 80’s new wave. About the song, James says: “The first lyric that we wrote for it was ‘beg for the fire…’ It’s meant to be about that person who is always wanting drama, or creating chaos. That person who’s addicted to friction and neither of us can stand that personality, and maybe sometimes it’s one of us!”

Lead singer Anthony comments, “This song reflects on our need for connection with others. It’s about vulnerability and longing for someone. It also explores the contrast between times in our lives when we bask in the light, feel full and content and times of darkness when we feel lost.”
