Loud Diamond Takes a Trip Within on New Album "Imagined Vacation"
Indianapolis Musician Creates Instrumental Soundscape Inspired by a Dream Journey

Stuck at home during the pandemic, artist Loud Diamond (Andrew Gustin) embarked on a different kind of adventure - a trip within.  His new album, "Imagined Vacation," captures the exotic and transcendent sounds he discovered on this inward journey.  The instrumental score paints a vivid picture of a dream coastal getaway.

Andrew wasn't alone on this musical voyage. He's joined by a talented crew of friends and a musical hero to create his vision. The album features guest contributions from:

• Eric Slick (Dr. Dog) , Nicholas Peoni and Cody Davis from BYBYE
• Nate Gonzales (MSA/ White Wax) , Dan Johnson from Wick
  
• Joel Berk from Ragenap, and Sean Ashcraft from the Caleb McCoach band

The album boasts stunning artwork by Indianapolis artist Taylor Near and layout by Justin Shimp. Andrew Gustin produced and recorded "Imagined Vacation" with mastering by Tyler Watkins at Postal Recording in Indianapolis. 

The album is a limited pressing of only 108 copies from Ameliorate Records! The album is 9 tracks with a running time of 40 minutes. The album is warm as the dream vacation with a chocolate color swirled vinyl.
