Delta Spirit

2012 release, the third album from the San Diego-based band. When it came time to record this album, the band members knew one thing: It was time to shake off the stylistic labels that have shadowed them since they formed in San Diego, CA, in 2005. The band were perplexed at being called rootsy Americana or twangy folk. In their eyes, Delta Spirit has always been a thoroughly modern rock band, and, with their self-titled new album, they set out to prove it. This project finds the quintet firing on all cylinders -- road-tested and armed with the breakthrough album of their career. Years of non-stop touring has been distilled into a sound this band can truly call their own, and with the help of producer Chris Coady (TV on the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs), tracks like the lead single, California, and the infectious Otherside will help to bring Delta Spirit the wider audience they so clearly deserve.
