[SONG OF THE DAY] Pink Flamingo Rhythm Revue - "Diamond Man"

If you haven’t already, you should get to know the solo project of Eric "Doc" Mendelsohn, Pink Flamingo Rhythm Revue. If the homey looks familiar it’s because he’s been making the rounds in the Brooklyn music scene at least since 2014 (he’s possibly best known as 1/2 of Ghost Beach). He’s also been hitting the road with Des Rocs as their bassist. This week he released his latest track, “Diamond Man”, on what is increasingly becoming my favorite local label: toucan sounds.
“Diamond Man” is a glitzy funktastic little nu disco number that is sure to make these scorching summer days more tolerable. Fair warning though: that guitar solo near the middle of the song might temporarily melt your face off if you’re not prepared. I suppose that’s there to make sure you know he is here to funk you up something fierce. If you’re like me and cant’t get enough of “Diamond Man”, a remix courtesy of LA’s Birdee will be dropping in a week-ish (7/17). That gives you plenty of time to also go back and get well acquainted with everything that Mendelsohn’s been releasing under PFRR for the past couple years. You could also check out Des Rocs or Ghost Beach if they weren’t previously on your radar. Blonde got a hell of a lot of love in my household when that dropped.
