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 [...]

Delta Spirit performs 'White Table' and 'Bushwick Blues' on Jimmy Kimmel Live. 'White Table' proved to be one of our Top Ten Songs of 2010. We heart the Audio Perv . Pick up their History From Below album - one of the better albums of 2010. Certainly one of the better live bands. Also - highly recommended - their debut album from 2008 [...]

Dubbed a "hybrid of rock and northern soul", San Diego rock n rollers, Delta Spirit, have just released their sophomore album, History From Below, on Rounder Records. The band formed in 2005 after bassist Jon Jameson, drummer Brandon Young and guitarist Sean Walker discovered lead singer/guitarist Matt Vasquez busking on a city bench at 2AM. They've been crooning ever since. Recorded in a converted barn in Northern California, History From Below is a true mixture of Americana mythos covering rock, rhythm and blues, folk, country and soul. Delta Spirit is part of an emerging [...]

ALBUM REVIEW: Delta Spirit - Ode To Sunshine words: Jamie Milton originally scribed for gigwise The artwork that accompanies Delta Spirit's debut album, 'Ode to Sunshine' consists solely of old-school family photos – each with the potential to tell a story. But the album itself does that job. Family is a topic that creeps up time and time again throughout this record, diving into other more dark subjects elsewhere. And even more poignant is the close-knit sound that emerges from each track, Matt Vasquez and [...]

Earlier today, the staff at Radio Exile and I unveiled the first part of our Top Albums of 2008 post with Albums 15 Through 11 [link]. Tonight, we unveil the next five rad albums on the list in...

I have a list, a big fucking list, where I've scheduled out just what exactly my Daily Choices are going to be for the next few days/months/years. I'm sort of OCD, so I usually stick to the list, or find myself sweaty, jittery, and unhappy when I variate from it. Today though, I was going to post either on Blitzen Trapper or a new band from this great label called Autumn Tone and I was excited, following a routine, just happy to be sticking to my guns ... and then I saw Delta Spirit last night. And halfway through their [...]

Ode To Sunshine Delta Spirit Rounder Records Delta Spirit's debut LP, Ode To Sunshine , has been available at their tour stops and various underground retailers over the past year or so, but we're just now seeing an official re-release of the album through Rounder Records. Granted, the sizable fanbase they've already amassed has mostly consisted of their Southern California neighbors up until this point, but touring with bands like the Cold War Kids, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and now Dr. Dog probably doesn't hurt either. Delta [...]

Delta Spirit's 'Ode to Sunshine' recently came into my hands. I was able to see them live in St. Petersburg in June and I remember this song being pretty powerful. Their live show was excellent, a lot of energy for sure. They played with Matt Costa the night that I saw them. Costa's 'Unfamiliar Faces' is an upbeat listen, and who doesn't like a nice harmonica solo these days? I would also like to say that New Noise Management has some darn nice guys working for them, and Matt can draw one heck of [...]

IN STORES NOW Hard Working, Hard Living, Exceptional Music..... It's a simple fact that the music from Delta's Spirit's self-produced, full-length 2007 debut captures in absolute sincerity. From the moment I heard those songs, the notes resonated in my soul. We delightfully named, "Ode to Sunshine," the RSL Album of the Year last year (two quick mentions: here & here . ) The BEST RECORD of 2007 gets the Proper Treatment: [...]

• Delta Spirit - People C'mon

I just heard this album streaming today at www.spinner.com. It's being re-released tomorrow, after being self-produced and released late last year. Delta Spirit is a rock/pop/soul band from Southern California with a love for piano hooks and socially conscious rock songs and if there's any justice in the world, they're going to be big. After one listen, I was hooked. After hearing "Ode To Sunshine" described as "the record you wished the Cold War Kids had made," I haven't been able to think of a better way to say it. Delta Spirit share a [...]

This is hope and promise stomping the smile out of apathy. "Trashcan" is so unabashedly fun and sunny and easygoing, it's hard to tell what decade it really came from. Is it a track from a long lost tour partner of Norman Greenbaum ? A troupe of balladeers circa Newport 1963? No, none of those, however good both sound. Delta Spirit , a ragtag group of San Diegoans, a band of brothers on a journey for journey's sake, seeking out the life of the amble, the quest simply to quest [...]
