NEW SONG: Diane Coffee (Shaun Fleming of Foxygen) - "Hymn" (Album My Friend Fish out in fall)

Shaun Fleming is a California native, and former Disney child actor who, after joining Foxygen, moved to NYC, squeezed himself into a 700-square foot apartment with two roommates, got very ill, and then immersed himself in a musical project that reflects all the dislocation you might expect to result. Foxygen's We Are The 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace and Magic is one of my favorite albums of the year (WYMA review here), but pinning it down is not as easy as just listening to it. Likewise with Fleming's solo work as Diane Coffee. This is the first song from an upcoming album My Friend Fish (due out in the fall). This is a really pretty track, reflecting a lot of the elements that make Foxygen so compelling: lush sounds (including plenty of guitar reverb) combined with sparse interludes, and the dizzying tempo changes that keep listeners, if not on their toes, at least up a ways in their seats:
