Acclaimed San Diego­bred five­piece Delta Spirit add fall dates to their extensive nationwide tour celebrating the release of their anticipated album Into the Wide, due September 9 via Dualtone Records. Keeping an eye toward the live experience is always essential to the band. “We just want the songs to be as epic and meaningful as possible when we play them in front of people, which is the be-all and end­all for us as a band,” says Matt Vasquez (vocals, guitar). Into the Wide follows the band’s 2012 self­titled release, which charted #1 on Billboard’s Heatseekers and was praised by Rolling Stone for its “broader sonic palette.” The latest teaser trailer featuring the song “Live On” is streaming now at http://youtu.be/WqcrPa83__U. See below for full track listing. The new album was born in a flood-­ruined, cave-­like, rat-­colonized room in Delta Spirit’s new hometown of Brooklyn. The band spent more than a year writing together in the windowless studio they rebuilt after Hurricane Sandy. “That sense of feeling trapped in our studio and in the city definitely gave the album more of a weight than our previous records and played a big part in this being our moodiest recording yet,” notes Kelly Winrich (instrumentalist, vocals) of the experience. When it came time to record, the band relocated to Maze Studios in Atlanta and teamed up with producer Ben Allen (Animal Collective, Deerhunter), who helped breathe new life and brighter energy into the songs while still capturing the claustrophobia of their creative writing space. Of the recording process, Brandon Young (drums) explains, “One of the most important things was getting back to all of us being in a room together for every single song and recording everything live.” Formed in 2005, Delta Spirit is Will Mclaren (guitar), Jon Jameson (bass), Winrich, Young and Vasquez. Their debut full­length Ode to Sunshine garnered a widespread critical response leading to numerous television performances including “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” “Conan,” “Last Call with Carson Daly” and “Later with Jools Holland,” as well as relentless touring and festival appearances worldwide including Coachella, Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo among many others.
