Diatom Deli shares “Disarray” from upcoming Time~Lapse Nature

Diatom Deli’s newest “Disarray” from upcoming album Time~Lapse Nature (love an album title with a tilde) is a more delicate, traditional turn from her previous more experimental recordings, but the result is absolutely gentle and lovely. Her voice is exquisite and the kaleidoscopic strums of acoustic guitar and distant chimes evoke relatable wistfulness. She reminds me of early Nelly Furtado (in the best way) – completely unique, bright, and pure. The video, shot in an earthship in Toas, was directed by Lindsay Gauthier & André Williams.

“I wrote this song about friendship breakups. It’s not talked about often but breaking up with a close friend can sometimes feel even worse than leaving a romantic relationship. I had a really difficult time accepting this when I decided to break off a friendship that at one point meant the world to me. Sometimes, our priorities change or we start to feel a shift happening in our friendship and we don’t know what to do with those feelings or even talk about them. Overtime I’ve learned to find clarity with the decision I made and forever honor the contributions this person gave to my world and at the same time, honor the feeling of missing them as well.”
