Diamond Mind will be supporting the album with a string of tour dates across Canada beginning October 20. Recently the band shared the video for “Horseless Coach”, an album single which The Fader called “an eerie journey through the desert" while Exclaim! called the video “a Roswell-style shakedown.” All tour dates are listed below.

Heavy Metal Sunshine draws from many diverse wells – pop, noise, soul, all with an eye to the baroque, and continues to expand into new territory. The album was captured at Edmontone Studios by Jesse Brandon Northey, mixed by Renny Wilson at Value Sound, and mastered by Harris Newman at Grey Market Mastering.
Throughout their past three EPs Diamond Mind have won audiences with the unique character of their songs, recorded in environments ranging from attic bedrooms to storied, established studios. The songs on Heavy Metal Sunshine echo this varied topography, ranging in content from intimate, confidential entries, elaborate pseudo-histories and haunting character sketches.
