about

Electric High’s new single brings them back on the rock ’n’ roll track, lightyears away from their trippy and mystical previous output, Populate the Moon. Rough Diamond sets off like a wild rock ’n’ rollercoaster, hitting it off with an explosive riff, and into a pounding, drum-driven verse, with the two lead singers battling away about hazardous conduct in life, love and gambling. The song slides into a quieter, funky little pre-chorus, and takes off again into the big, soaring refrain. It races on through the highs and lows of a dynamic, rocky landscape, and reaches its climax in a frantic finale.

lyrics

Rough Diamond

You crossed the line - A sweet salvation
To danger zone - The pain is gone
Two of a kind - A bad mutation of one

I shared my wine - Wrong invitation
Threw you a bone - Burnt by the sun
This whole alien nation will subscribe us when we’re done

Still I will stay in full silence
Silence won’t make you complain
I’m gonna be a rough diamond
Diamonds don’t rust in the rain

Cheating at dice - Just accusations
Cheating at cards - Didn’t make a dime
Blue cheating eyes - Evaluating my mind

You’re cold as ice - I owe you nothing
You’re hard as stone - You’re doing fine
This bang will be so big it’ll be the big bang of mankind

Still I will stay in full silence
Silence won’t make you complain
I’m gonna be a rough diamond
Diamonds don’t rust in the rain

Yes, I will be a rough diamond
Diamonds don’t crack when they fall
And I will stay in full silence
Laying new bricks on the wall

I hold the ace - But I’m the Joker
Bite like a shark - You lose, I win
A nasty case - You’re flaming face lost its grin
Lost in the haze - But I will get yah!
Gone with the dark - I’ll let light in
No one is there to save your sorry ass when I begin

Still I will stay in full silence
Silence won’t make you complain
I’m gonna be a rough diamond
Diamonds don’t rust in the rain

Yes, I will be a rough diamond
Diamonds don’t crack when they fall
And I will stay in full silence
Laying new bricks on the wall

I’m gonna be a rough diamond
I’m gonna be a rough diamond
I’m gonna be a rough diamond

about

Electric High Bergen, Norway

Electric High from Bergen, Norway, plays a blend of alternative rock and hard rock, kind of like if Rival Sons and Royal Blood had crashed the stage at an Aerosmith concert.

Fronted by two lead singers, they hit you right in the face with a whole new level of electric energy. The members hail from bands like Sahg, Faith Circus, and Emmerhoff & The Melancholy Babies.
