Connecticut-based indie-pop duo Mates of State are happy to premiere the Diamond Rings remix of their song “Sway” today on RCRD LBL. “Sway (Diamond Rings remix)” is a bouncy and whimsical take on the original song, a sunny track anchored by one of the band’s signature infectious melodies. The chorus is now awash with dreamy synths, and the verses find themselves ornamented with whistles and newly added percussion which give the song a refreshing rhythmic momentum. You can listen to the song at RCRD LBL at the link below:

Mountaintops is the band’s newest album since 2008’s critically acclaimed Re-Arrange Us. The self-produced album was written and recorded over the last year and a half in 6 different studios with multiple different engineers.
