Diamonds by woodpigeon
Originally available only on the merch table, 'Diamonds' collects together some of WP's personal favourites that somehow didn't make their way onto an album proper.
"These songs came along without warning somewhere between albums. Songs sometimes have the habit of doing that – of coming when they're ready. Sometimes once you catch them, you also file them away, eventually under dust. Sometimes there is much stone and dirt to sort through to find them. This record is for everyone who looks under rocks or has had a kind word."
