Spotlight Artist is a section I run on my radio show CUR1350 Breakthrough to highlight the cream of the up-and-coming crop, into which the Delta Mirror fit quite nicely. Their debut album, Machines That Listen, came out this week on Lefse Records, and is available to listen to in full on both Spotify and Lastfm. The LA trio acknowledge that their sound is in keeping with the atmospheric electronic fuzz of the likes of The Big Pink and F**k Buttons, whilst the album's concept (each song is set within a different room of a hospital) is reminiscent to Hospice, last year's terrific offering by The Antlers. The monotonic baritone of singer Craig Gordon , and the dark tone of their music also bears obvious comparisons to early Interpol.
The band have just finished doing the rounds in Austin, Texas for SXSW, and have more dates in the US. Hopefully a european tour will be on the cards in the not-too-distant future.
