Diner Coffee, the new album by the San Francisco metal/experimental greats, Mamaleek, which follows 2020's Come & See, contains fresh and unusual sounds, right in the style of the band's consistently unconventional creative approach. By way of a combination of live performances, samples, and field recordings, Mamaleek aim to depict the companionship discovered at the core of global tragedies and evolving personal matters.
Diner Coffee is the band's "sonically crushing ode to the humor found within catastrophe, American diners, and 'the little things,'" displaying an unusually positive mindset.
Boiler Room comes with a demented, nightmarish jazz ambience, blending the avant-gardism of Tom Waits with the intensity of some of the band's peers, such as Wreck and Reference and Bosse-de-Nage.
Mamaleek began as the project of two anonymous brothers, and in recent years the band have been adding members, going into live performance. Diner Coffee already has the makings of a significant step forward for the band.
