Ohio's James A Donadio returns to Diagonal via his StabUdown Productions moniker,
delivering the hyper spiritual "Tinge of Ascension" 9 track LP. This album is about the
beauty of building something new by surrendering everything once learned. It's the
culmination of 12 months working with a reappraised creative ethos. Throughout the
process, Jimmy's interest in Krishna Consciousness & Dharma Yoga was deepening.
Both went on to become deeply infused in this music.

All tracks are ethereal in nature. Tempos are varied and rendered irrelevant. Jimmy's
masterful use of sampling is on display as ever but the samples do not overburden.
Tracks vary in energy but a bracing spirituality unites them all.

Bráulio Amado (who has recently worked with Frank Ocean and Andre 3000) and Guy
Featherstone (Diagonal's own aesthete force of nature) unite once again to deliver
sleeve art which perfectly renders the music's preoccupation with the search for inner
peace and purpose.
