NEWS: Dangerbird Records signs Delphic

March 31st, 2010 · · News

Hailed as “A New Order for the 21st century” by England’s Q magazine, the Manchester trio known as Delphic has become the newest member of the Dangerbird Records family. The band’s highly lauded debut album, Acolyte, released earlier this year overseas, will now receive a domestic release on 6/29.

A trio comprised of early twenty-somethings, Rick Boardman, Matt Cocksedge and James Cook, Delphic unabashedly blur the line between rock band and dance act. This is none more apparent than on stage where, with the addition of live instrumentation and a drummer, they transform their laptop-created songs into full four-on-the-floor catharsis. Produced with the Berlin-based techno émigré Ewan Pearson, the album was recorded mostly in Pearson’s Berlin studio, with the city’s flourishing techno scene bleeding into the crisp grooves but never to the detriment of the band’s emotive songwriting.
