about

DREAMS OF EMPIRE is a natural follow up piece to DIANA's 2020 debut album, NATIONAL TRAGEDY. More viscerally electronic in nature, Dreams of Empire deals with similar themes of isolation, failed relationships, political unrest & sardonic patriotism. It's both a requiem & love letter to the past - permeated with nostalgia but inevitably outweighed & ladened with fear of what lies ahead.
