Mostar Diving Club
Triumph Of Hope
Following the successful DIY release of their debut album ‘Don Your Suit of Lights’, The Mostar Diving Club – Obi frontman Damian Katkhuda and producer/multi-instrumentalist Will Worsley – release their second album ‘Triumph of Hope’.
‘Triumph of Hope’ finds Katkhuda’s skill at crafting melodic gems coming to the fore, with his yearning songs often infused by a rich array of diverse instrumentation. It ranges from stripped down tracks such as the haunting ‘Train of Roses’ and the intimate ‘Echoes’ to uplifting moments of folk-pop such as ‘Give A Little Love’ and ‘To The Ocean’.
Katkhuda formed The Mostar Diving Club after the decline of his previous band Obi, who released two well-received albums on Cooking Vinyl and played to audiences of up to 8000 people in mainland Europe while being almost unknown at home. The duo released ‘Don Your Suit of Lights’ in 2009 after recording it with an estimated budget of £1000. Featuring material ranging from intimate guitar/vocal arrangements to richer sounds filled with brass, strings and all manner of other instruments, the album reiterated the fact that great music can be produced at little expense.
