    They channel the essence of previous decades. Throughout, the band use a variety of vintage synth tones and guitar and basslines that even Nile Rodgers would kill for.

    It's what's underneath these retro stylings that really makes Familiar Touch stand out. From her struggles with the truth in "These Words" to the emotional pleas of "The Coward," DIANA lead singer Carmen Elle's graphic expressions of anxiety and heartbreak are enthralling.

    With Familiar Touch, DIANA continue to excel at writing songs that are soothing yet scarring.
