Give It a Spin: “Wise Mary” by Diagonal – Song Premiere

Be among the first to hear the new single from Diagonal’s upcoming EP, You Are Free. Midwest Action is happy to premiere “Wise Mary,” the second track off the sextet’s forthcoming release.

It’s energetic and ethereal, two concepts that sonically don’t often mesh well together, but they work here. “Wise Mary” is a benevolent psych rock entity—with reverb-drenched vocals buried in between a driving drum beat and layers of effected guitar, “Wise Mary” seems to tell a story and progress with the band working as a single unit as opposed to relying on upfront lyricism. Every piece is necessary and works together beautifully.

In true Diagonal fashion, they lay their wall of sound down brick by reverby brick, and the result is pure shoegazy goodness. Listen below and get your first taste of their new EP.

You Are Free will be available as a limited run of CDs as well as a digital download available to the public on Friday 12/21. Pre-Order your copy now via bandcamp and make sure you snag one of these CDs while you can!
