Delicate Steve's "Positive Force" is exactly that. I truly love reviewing albums that have little to no lyrics. As a writer, it’s easy to get caught on what the artist or group is literally saying with words and what they mean by it, rather than how they choose to say it with music. As such, a largely instrumental album such as Delicate Steve’s “Positive Force” allows a writer to flex his or her muscles as an objective critic. “Delicate” Steve Marion is a virtuoso on guitar; his arpeggios are enviable. Only the second album [...]

It is no easy task to create an uplifting feel good album in such dismal times, and it’s even harder to create an uplifting album with no vocals, but Delicate Steve has managed it. The guitar virtuoso takes the listener on a journey through the cosmos in just over 37 minutes. The production is warm and there are sections of Postive Force that wouldn’t sound out of place on an early Animal Collective or Yeasayer album. You can tell that a lot of thought has gone into this album. While guitars take centre stage on most [...]

Delicate Steve aka Steve Marion, does wonders for the soul. Diving into intricate reverberating guitar arrangements that sometimes feel like the soundtrack to a video game, Delicate Steve divinely interrupts ones expectations of instrumental music. On his sophomore release Positive Force, out now, Delicate Steve takes the listener through a myriad of experiences. From the invigorating to the romantic, through the amazon forests and out into the galaxy, he does it all with sublime cohesion. A few exceptions on the record include lyrics as a breathy supporting role, like "Two Lovers", while [...]

This makes for a pretty terrific Tuesday: ► Beach House and Wild Nothing team up to do a (very) sold-out show at the El Rey Theatre. ► Lyle Lovett visits the Wiltern behind his new album "Release Me," which came out in February. ► Barry Manilow and the L.A. Philharmonic do a second night of hits and patriotic tunes amid fireworks at the Hollywood Bowl. ► Sibling-powered electro-poppers Blondfire (that's Erica and Bruce Driscoll, pictured) kick off a residency at the Central SAPC, [...]

First off, you can fill that Icelandic gap with some Japanese pop-rock goodness from girl group legends Shonen Knife, playing with ... Continue reading

LIVE: Delicate Steve - Butterfly
LIVE: Delicate Steve - Butterfly Last thursday the lovely ladies over at The Participation Agency produced their annual Sound Waves on the Intrepid event. That’s right you literally get on to an out of comission battleship that now serves as a sea, air and space museum and rock out to awesome bands. This year the event featured Delicate Steve, MNDR and Javelin. It was a great night to say the least. Above is some footage of Delicate Steve blowing my mind and playing slide guitar like a mad man. I know I’ve been [...]
Delicate Steve – Positive Force
Delicate Steve - Positive Force Luaka Bop: 2012 Delicate Steve ’s sophomore album, Positive Force , continues in the path of guitar-centric instrumentals, pitch-shifting melodies and touching composition-this time with more layers than his debut album Wondervisions. Delicate Steve, also known by his birth name Steve Marion, is an oddity. Last year he broke the scene, not with his music necessarily, but with a press release sent to publishers entitled "The critics unilaterally concur: Delicate Steve is a band who creates music." How could anyone pass that [...]

Delicate Steve- “Afria Talks To You”
Stream: Delicate Steve- "Afria Talks To You" After drumming up some impressive buzz for the release of their 2010 record Wondervisions , the Brooklyn psych-pop group Delicate Steve have a new album out called Positive Force . The single "Afria Talks To You" (no, that's not a typo) was debuted a few months ago, and you can stream it above via soundcloud.

Album Review: Delicate Steve – Positive Force
There are few electric guitar masterminds putting their expertise to such unique ends as Steve Marion does under the project heading Delicate Steve . On 20112s excellent debut, Wondervisions , Marion established his musical skills, utilizing his guitar like some sort of mystical synthesizer that (with only a few pedals) could just as easily sound like island-inflected plinks to tribal squawks. On the follow-up, Positive Force , he's at it again, once more crafting an album in which virtuosity works toward the achievement of focused songcrafting rather than acting as its own end. [...]
Saiu hoje o novo do Delicate Steve e isso é motivo de festa por aqui
Por aqui, já sabe quem regularmente espreita estas letras em fundo amarelo, gosta-se muito do Delicate Steve. Muito. E o David Byrne também, porque a Luaka Bop volta a apostar no guitarrista de Nova Jérsei com um segundo álbum, "Positive Force", que sai precisamente hoje. O disco está em escuta na NPR. Já no site do músico pode-se descarregar desde há algum tempo o mp3 do "Afria Talks to You" (

Stream Delicate Steve’s new album Positive Force (playing Union Transfer on July 20th)
New Jersey-based experimental indie rockers Delicate Steve is currently streaming their entire sophomore album Positive Force online at NPR. Positive Force is a far more laid-back album than the band's hyper-energized debut, WONDERVISIONS. Most of the songs are blithely awash in intricate layers of almost meditative guitar licks and drum kit beats. Acoustic guitar even ... Continue reading
