The Diasonics – Ornithology

Ornithology, released in 2025, cements The Diasonics as one of the most solid acts in the contemporary deep funk scene.

The Russian group deepens their signature sound here, built on dense grooves, reverb-heavy guitars, hypnotic bass lines, and keyboard textures that evoke '70s crime or spy film soundtracks. Drawing influences from psychedelic soul, Afro-funk, and European library music, the album crafts a cohesive and cinematic instrumental landscape, with each track unfolding like a wordless story. Ornithology delivers funk with a retro-futuristic flair — stylish, restrained, and irresistibly rhythmic.
