DIANA is a Canadian synthpop band, whose debut album Perpetual Surrender was a longlisted nominee for the 2014 Polaris Music Prize.[1]
Formed by Toronto musicians Joseph Shabason and Kieran Adams after another project they had planned to work on fell through,[2] the duo later added vocalist Carmen Elle.[3] Originally intended as a recording project which would not tour,[4] popular interest in their early demos on SoundCloud led them to begin touring, with Paul Mathew also joining the band's live performance lineup.[3]
Perpetual Surrender was released in August 2013 on Paper Bag Records and Jagjaguwar.[2] They have toured extensively across Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom to support the album, both at music festivals and as an opening act for Austra.[4][5]
