Description

Three lads equipped with a bass guitar, drums, keys and a laptop have managed to create a group that combines dance music with an indie undertone. Touring the festival circuit and getting an appearance on Jools Holland in 2009 gave exposure to this band that has come out of nowhere, but has had an explosive entry nonetheless.

These Manchester boys flew to Berlin to record their debut Acolyte, an album which is already looking up to be the biggest album of 2010. Their 8 minute long track ‘Acolyte’ is probably the first track in a long time that represents the band’s sound, and also happens to be the album title. While it can sometimes be reminiscent of the 80’s sound of New Order, their music still manages to give a contemporary spin that matches those of any other electronic group out today.

Considering how we’re in the beginnings of a new decade, a new category of music could be just what Delphic could become.
