Instead, this quartet is revealed to be interdimensional travelers from 1994, guided—largely against their will—by vocalist Diana’s powerful spell embedded into their song “Fall Through.”\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e As Diamond Mine tours the country, each performance of the song triggers a fracturing of space-time perceptible only by the band members as they’re transported to alternate worlds in which they’ve never existed, but their band’s legend has. That is, until Jody, the band’s bassist and the story’s protagonist, finds herself disrupting Diana’s sorcery, even at the cost of her own beloved work and legacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While some band members perpetually seek the free space offered by the underground punk scene to escape from their mundane or traumatic lives, others work toward it as a means of expression, connection, and growth—even if that means eventually outgrowing Sisyphean patterns and inevitably outgrowing their beloved band-family altogether.","brand":"By Nate Powell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44894802149558,"sku":"9781419760839","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/0610\/7830\/files\/9781419760839_f1233e4f-3759-4780-a790-9ac48b6ffffb.jpg?v=1773217136","url":"https:\/\/store.abramsbooks.com\/products\/fall-through-1","provider":"Abrams Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
