DIANA – “Strange Attraction” (Stereogum Premiere)

Toronto band DIANA's Perpetual Surrender played with the dynamic between hooks and experimental oddity, and was one of the more overlooked and original takes on synth-pop last year. Album standout "Strange Attraction" blended blocky percussion, ear-worm synths, and Carmen Elle's smoky vocals into a song that's wonderfully catchy, but not without its avant touches. George Bok's new video for the track achieves a similar quality in its emotive performances, tweaked with strange details like the masks seen above and moments played in reverse. Watch it below.
