ANCHR's Artist of the Day: Diane Coffee

Sometimes drummers need to step out from behind the kit and show their full talent. That's exactly former Foxygen drummer, Shaun Fleming, did with Diane Coffee.

Cooped up in his New York City apartment, he recorded his first album "My Friend Fish" for a 2013 release. Fleming said he didn't enjoy the hustle and bustle of city living, so he ended up moving to Bloomington, Indiana, home of his label Jagjaguwar. There, Fleming brought in session musicians to give his second LP "Everybody's a Good Dog" a bigger sound.

He's stayed in Bloomington and just released his third album "Internet Arms" last year.

For an introduction though, spin "Green" from his debut, which is one of my favorite songs of all-time. 

Before he's set to open for the New Pornographers, Diane Coffee will perform two back-to-back nights at Hideout on Jan. 23 and 24.
