EXCLUSIVE: Diives shares new song/video, ‘Stayed Too Long’

Following on from his summer debut ‘Anxiety,’ Diives is sharing his second single (and accompanying video) ‘Stayed Too Long,’ exclusively on Gigslutz.

Drawing influences from far and wide, ‘Stayed Too Long’ sees Diives continued to straddle genres, flitting from ethereal indie sounds to ones closer to contemporary UK grime. Speaking of the new track, Diives said: “It’s at least in part about being the last ones to leave the party, when the alcohol can take effect on what you say and think. The line “Right to the moment when the ‘false us’ kicked in” is where that comes from – But actually I kind of prefer people making their own interpretations, finding the message that most resonates for them.”

With themes and genres both impossible to pin down, ‘Stayed Too Long,’ pins Diives up as one of the most original, exciting artists around – a worthy follow up to ‘Anxiety.’

‘Stayed Too Long’ is out on all digital outlets 3rd November
