The new Delta Spirit single, "California," sparks thoughts of Phoenix, almost suspiciously. The melody and vocals practically seem to borrow from "Consolation Prizes," though the lyrics don't. With this song, Delta Spirit falls into the friend zone as frontman Matthew Vasquez bids farewell to an unknown companion, pulling the heartstrings of Nice Guys everywhere. Indeed, [...]

The San Diego group drop their new album's lead single.

DANG! VOL. 46 I know we don't usually say anything with our Sunday posts, but today I have some updates. We will no longer be doing a weekly Dang! However, do not fret, because instead we will return to our weekly digests. It may just seem like we are changing the names. We aren't. The digests will consist of all of the songs that are legal, free downloads for the week. In addition, we will be putting up a monthly Dang! The Dang! will be a curated playlist of 15 songs featured throughout the previous month. [...]

Tweet Listen to and download Delta Spirit 's new song "California" below, taken from their third album "Delta Spirit" . I've been a fan of Delta Spirit for a good.....oh.....three days now. Josh from 1,2,3 turned me onto them a few days ago, I listened to their 2008 LP "Ode To Sunshine" , and fucking loved it. Now the band have a new [...]

Looking over the list of albums slated for release in the new few months, it's hard not to get overly giddy - 2012 is going to be a great year for music. Several bands that made names for themselves with wildly inventive and successful debuts are putting forth their sophomore efforts this year. The all-important follow-up album can be tricky, though, especially when an artist has made such a unique statement with their debut - I'm definitely eager to hear how these musicians have adapted their sound.

Is folk-rock over? It is, quite possibly, for Delta Spirit , the SoCal quintet who won fans with the harmony-laden "Ode to Sunshine" in 2008 and cranked up the intensity with 20102s "History From Below." Both were albums that wore their hearts on their flannel-shirted sleeves, Matt Vasquez's winsome voice sending fans scurrying to locate that "Find Your Inner Folkie" iPhone app (there has to be one, right?). But judging from the first single from their third album (a self-titled affair) due March 13 on Rounder Records, Delta Spirit is growing into a full-on rock band. Picking up where [...]

About to release another album (3/13) this time a self-title third LP we were treated to our first sing @ CoS and a free download for an email (below). The single "California," is a soaring jam that feels a bit like the maturation of a band. They've sanded out some of the cracks in the sandy soul rock sound for a bit more of a smooth exterior. It's still just as catchy as earlier efforts, with a bit more of a high gloss shine. Delta Spirit 2012 Tour Dates: [...]

Photo by Debi Del Grande As previously reported, Delta Spirit will unleash their third LP on Mach 13th via Rounder/Concord.

King Post Kitsch In his quest to continue to give away great music for free, King Post Kitsch really does rule the roost. This week he decided to share a new EP with the world and rather ace it is too, coming in at just under 6 minutes it's a short but sweet trip, but one well worth taking. I am particularly taken with the lead instrumental track, 'Nocturnal Wandering', but as always with these things you don't need to take my word for it, find out for yourself by downloading the EP for free here [...]

Yes, Yes, Y-E-S! I love Delta Spirit and maybe it's the endorphins from my run earlier tonight (that's right, I try and keep healthy. What gives?!) or my general love for the band, but I also am a big fan of this song. Sure, it's going to be a polarizing song for many longtime Delta fans. In fact there has already been a huge backlash over the fact that this particular song, the first single off their upcoming 3rd studio album, "California", leaves behind the roots-rock, americana feel. It's true it does and I'll admit, I was looking [...]

Since bursting onto the scene with their 2006 self-titled album Rodrigo Y Gabriela have built a reputation for being a dynamic live act showcasing their rhythmic blend of fast picking, driving acoustic guitar music. On January 24 the Mariachi Metal duo will release their sixth studio album Area 52 via ATO Records. The record, produced by Peter Asher, features nine tracks from their catalog that have been re-imagined and re-recorded with the help of 13-piece Cuban orchestra known as C.U.B.A. This [...]

2012 is poised to be one of the greatest years in music in awhile. Why? Well, I'll give you a hint: it isn't because Justin Bieber is set to have an album coming out. In fact, I don't even know whether that's true or not. It's exciting because Phoenix, Spoon, Delta Spirit, Mumford & Sons, P.O.S., Passion Pit, Animal Collective, The Shins, Brother Ali, Dr. Dre, Miike Snow, Lana Del Rey, Andrew Bird, Sleigh Bells , and the xx are poised to release albums. That's not even including all of the new or smaller bands that will [...]

The Long Beach group head out in support of their forthcoming LP come this March.

Photo by Debi Del Grande Those who caught Californian blues rockers Delta Spirit on their December jaunt with My Morning Jacket likely caught a preview of some new material from their forthcoming self-titled release . After the album, their third, drops on March 13th, you'll be able to catch a full dosage of the new tunes when they embark on a spring tour. The five piece will give the record a week to simmer before their first stop on March 19th in Little Rock, Arkansas. Next, it's up towards [...]
