Diamanté is the sixth EP by the American post-hardcore band At the Drive-In, released on November 24, 2017, through Rise Records. The November 24th release was in accordance with Record Store Day 2017.[1] The group played the song Amid Ethics from the EP on this same date during their tour in Glasgow, Scotland.[2] Ahead of the EP's release, the band issued a cryptic note regarding the recording: “How do you weaponize the insatiable thirst for life among vultures? How do you deprogram the coroner dissecting hiatus ? What light beckons you from the sewers of suggestion? Is your instinct extinct ? Or does it hide in the flash burn of counterfeit automatons? 5 boys with guilty slingshots swaying to the Midwitch Sound. Blinded by the DIAMANTÉ.”[3] Diamanté is the last official recording from the band before going on indefinite hiatus.
The EP saw a limited 4,000 vinyl release for Record Store Day in 2017 in the United States. It was released for streaming in January 2018.[4]It received generally favorable reviews.[5][6][7]
