Diafrix – Rest Assured

Jim Steps

Rest Assured is the sublime comeback single from Diafrix, a serene and refreshing return for the Melbourne duo. Coming off a guest-heavy second album (2012’s acclaimed Pocket Full Of Dreams), Rest Assured is entirely self-produced and performed, relying heavily on the duo’s core strengths – poignant storytelling, aspirational ideals, warm, melodic hip-hop production and soulful undertones. Momo’s heartfelt vocal appearance on the song’s hook best demonstrates the latter. A wonderful new start for one of Australia’s most interesting groups. Rest Assured is available now.  Purchase  ||  Facebook  ||  Twitter Continue reading Diafrix – Rest Assured
