Delta Spirit – on the road again, September 2010
Voted One of Q’s Best New Acts in the World summer 2009 – Delta Spirit, the amazingly charismatic US root rockers are on their way to the UK this September. Their brand new album History From Below joins their first riotous debut Ode To Sunshine with critical praise. The thumbs up are coming in for the second album and the growing Delta Spirit aficionados will tell you that things just get better and better. Once Bitten you stay bitten…
“While Delta Spirit’s first album was something of a party record, this is an altogether more mature and sombre affair. The American band’s indie take on ‘70s country rock is still there but they are now stretching their musical wings with epic and haunting tales of life on the road, loneliness and loss. They have not lost their youthful swagger, but this solidly proves they are not just here for the beer.”
Clash 8/10
“Californian indie-rockers who offer Dylan-like attention to detail.
With rollicking defiance that echoes Dylan’s Highway 61 revisited”
4 **** Uncut
“History From Below is a whole different battered campfire kettle of indie-fied Americana.
Longing, regret, misunderstanding, defiance and broken love shouldn’t sound this uplifting but they do”
Mojo 4 ****
“…frontman Matt Vasquez has crafted an album that’s assured itself a place in the year’s ‘best of’ lists.”
Shortlist
“History From Below draws on the religious and spiritual concepts that propelled their debut, …is more adventurous…The result is more difficult to characterise but then there’s something incredibly satisfying about that”
