Austin-based musician Nick Diaz makes music as a solo artist under the Buenos Diaz moniker. Starting the project in Brooklyn over a decade ago, the multi-instrumentalist embarked on the endeavour to bring his alternative pop sonic vision to life.
Armed with his talent as a songwriter and instrumental ability that sees him play guitar, bass and keyboards as well as vocals, Buenos Diaz crafts a retro and hook-driven sound full of vibrant arrangements and grooving rhythms. Unveiling the project in 2014, he shared his debut EP titled The Love Balloon, which he’s followed up with a string of well-received releases that showcase the breadth of his creativity and accomplished musicianship.
This year, he’s dropped a brand new album titled Cocaine Queen released via Wormhole Records, featuring ten new stellar Buenos Diaz tracks. Lifted from the album comes the lead single and titled track “Cocaine Queen”, offering the very best of the artist’s shimmering funk rock sound.
Linking up with Houston-based engineer Dan Workman, who’s previous credits include top artist from Beyoncé to ZZ Top, to mix the song, Buenos Diaz also enlisted Grammy-nominee Kevin Blacker to master the track. Joining the artist on the single is drummer Greg Clifford and backing vocals courtesy of Michael Saint Clair to create an uplifting and infectiously catchy sound that lays down Buenos Diaz’s grooving disco sound wrapped up with psychedelic rock touches.
