Between reflections, breakups and the search for connection, they conquer the scene with their second album.
The Dianas returns with his second album, I'll decide tomorrowa work that consolidates their style without losing the spark that makes the band unique. With production of Carlos Diaz and artistic direction of Alba Gunithe album includes nine songs that shine for their freshness, energy and a clear message in favor of freedom and authenticity. In this new stage, the band demonstrates its ability to evolve creatively while remaining faithful to its essence, pop with a punk soul and flashes of new wave.
We talk with Laura Torressinger and guitarist of the group, about the creative process behind this album, the challenges they have faced and the expectations surrounding it. With honesty and passion, he shared with us what it means to be part of a young group that has overcome the loss of members, the demands of studies, the distance from their homeland and, even so, has found strength in the love of art. to get ahead and succeed big.
For The Dianas, I'll decide tomorrow. “It's a very important album because we made it at a time of some tension. Two members of the group left because they wanted to continue studying, and only three of us stayed. We didn't know if we were going to be able to continue with the band,” he explained. Laura. Insecurities, both inside and outside the musical field, were captured in the songs on the album, as a way to channel the uncertainty that many young people face today.
The title of the album, which at first glance may seem a bit coincidental, arose precisely from the chaos they were experiencing at that time. “The whole time we were busy with the university, recording the album, working… It was like: 'Well, tomorrow we will decide the name'. Until we said: 'It seems that that will be the name.'”
Although their first album, What your body asks of youwas a success that positioned them as one of the most interesting emerging bands on the Spanish scene, this second album reflects a more elaborate work. According to Laurathis time they took the time to develop a more solid concept. “On the first album we had no intention of making an album. We compiled the songs we had and moved forward. Here we have written more songs, chosen the ones that best fit the concept and worked more on the sounds. I hope we play better now than before” , he joked.
Freedom and liberation from social stigmas are central themes of I'll decide tomorrowdirectly inspired by the experiences of its members. “We reflect our reality, that feeling of saying: 'My God, we are young, we don't have a job, we don't see a clear future.' We capture that frustration directly on the album. They are songs from our daily lives.”
Another curious fact about the creation of the album is that a good part of the songs were composed remotely. Laura He was living in Germany for eight months, which forced the band to rehearse and work online. “We rehearsed every week on Zoom, as if it were the pandemic. Then, when we saw each other in person, we hammered out the ideas.”
Despite the challenges, from the departure of members to the complications of distance, The Dianas He managed to turn those difficulties into an opportunity to evolve. “The biggest challenge was that two members left, and that I also lived in another country, a four-hour flight away. But here we are, we managed to get it done.”
The band is very clear about where it comes from and where it wants to go. Inspired by the Spanish music scene, they mention The Dove, Dear and Hinds as great references. These bands not only influence their sound, but also guide them to find their own style, mixing genres and taking female references as a base.
When asked what song they enjoyed creating together the most, the answer was “It fucks me up”. “It's one of the last ones we composed and we were all there, all of us. I was also Marten. It was like a release, you know? A catharsis of starting to say things that we couldn't stand,” they remember. For them, it was both a fun and therapeutic moment. “I think it's an exercise that everyone has to do, like making a list and saying 'not this, not this, not this'.”
The first preview of his new album, “Imposter syndrome”also has a special meaning for girls. “It's a song that we were very fond of, because we put all that insecurity in it. That is to say, we don't know if we are capable of writing another song, of making another album, of anything,” he confessed. The song became a declaration of confidence and improvement. “It was like shouting to the public that we are capable and to prepare for what was going to come.”
Among the most striking songs on the album is “Putivuelta”a term that, although not familiar to everyone, has a very clear explanation. “Here it's like when you're at a party and you and your friend say: 'Let's see, let's go around and see who's there.' “It doesn't have to be sexual or anything, it's just for a laugh.” However, the song also addresses those uncomfortable situations of a breakup, especially in small cities like Granada. “We always see people we don't want to meet, and that's what the song talks about a little bit.”
When they try to define their sound, they admit that it is not simple. “I would say we are pop rock, but I don't know. I think we have very poppy things, a pretty catchy melody, but then we also add dirty guitars and characteristic solos.” Beyond the labels, what they are really looking for is connection. “We want people to feel identified, to not feel alone when faced with thoughts of stress or vulnerability to the future.”
Regarding future projects, the band has several ideas in the air. Among them, they mention collaborations with friends they made during their visit to Mexico a couple of years ago. They also highlight a pending collaboration with Radio Palmeran emerging group from their city. “In that song we tried to mix the styles of both bands, and it has been a very fun exercise of saying: 'Okay, what is our common path?'” Although they don't have anything set yet, they are excited to continue experimenting and exploring new ways of making music.
The Dianas You are living an exciting time. After releasing their second album, they have gone on tour to share it with their audience, and the experience has been unforgettable. “The craziest concert I have ever experienced in my life was last week here in our city. We couldn't believe that people knew the songs. They shouted everything and we had a performance that we would never have thought of in our lives,” they shared excitedly.
They have also joined charitable causes, participating in a charity concert for the DANA victims in Valencia. “It was incredible because people were helping the Valencian towns and so were we. It was a very nice atmosphere, even though the situation was ugly.”
For them, playing live and feeling the connection with the audience is one of their greatest motivations. With renewed energy, they say. “We love playing live and having people respond to our show. We are playing very rock songs and we are going very high. “We are like we have never been before.”
Looking ahead, they dream of bigger stages and new adventures. Mexico is in their plans for early next year, and they would love to perform in intimate spaces like the Indie Rocks Forum! or the House of Vans. Furthermore, laughing, they commented that, if they reach a considerable level of fame, they would not hesitate to leave their careers to dedicate themselves completely to music, one of their dreams is to play at the festival. Live Latino.
The Dianas defines his project with humility. “We are friends who got together at a given moment. We had no idea about music; “All this came out of intuition and because we really wanted to have a group.” To those who are discovering them, they invite them to listen to their songs with affection and keep the good vibes they try to transmit.
The road has not been easy, but their perseverance has taken them far. “If you want something very much and you are surrounded by people who love and support you, you will probably succeed. We saw the future very dark, and here we are with the second album.”
In this spirit, The Dianas It is positioned as one of the most authentic proposals on the scene. We sincerely thank Laura for granting this interview to Indie Rocks! and we wish the girls of The Dianas all the success that your effort and sacrifice deserve. Don't stay without listening I'll decide tomorrow!
