Delta Spirit are bringing it straight from the Mississippi Delta. Their southern rock flare make for some great tunes. NME magazine compares them to their Mississippi counterparts, CCR and Cold War Kids. They go on to say: "Of the recent host of indie-rockers working this strain of Americana, Delta Spirit attack their songs with unusually ragged fervour, muddling the Southern revival vibe with vintage SoCal college rock (‘Tomorrow Goes Away’) and Dylanesque ’60s folkie protest music (the harmonica-spiked ‘People Turn Around’). Their sound is timeworn and instantly familiar: the “set me free” chorus of ‘Streetwalker’ is pure Springsteen, while the honky-tonk of ‘Trashcan’ is classic Stones, made more remarkable by the sandpaper snarl of their frontman."
Crazy that they self-produced their first album, Ode to Sunshine, in a cabin tucked away in the mountains of San Diego [it was released earlier this year]. The second is on its way.
Added to my playlist...right about...now.
I promise that it's worth staying to the end of this next video. I'll give you a hint why: it involves a chicken.
