Delta Spirit – California

Sorry for the incredibly long delay, but for some reason I just never felt inclined to post about Delta Spirit’s killer new album. Perhaps it was due to my rather embarrassing run-in with them at their Brooklyn album release event – where my friend and I jokingly ridiculed the band as they stood behind us – who knows?

Anyhoo, if you haven’t already, have a gander at the swirling video below which not only paints the most idyllic view of California, but being a young a shit-head teen – sneaking out at night, getting drunk, accidentally getting punched in the mouth, and then pretending like nothing happened when you chat with your parents the next day.

Delta Spirit’s self-titled third album is out now on Rounder Records.
