Delphic - Acolyte - Review
You might not have heard of Delphic just yet. Even if you have, chances are it’s because they’ve been on someone’s tip-list for 2010. Either way, by the time you’ve taken a listen to the band’s debut album ‘Acolyte’ you’ll be kicking yourself for not finding out about them earlier.
‘Acolyte’ presents you with just under an hour’s worth of shameless electronica - ranging from the 80s stylings of ‘Submission’ to the apocalyptic stylings of opening track ‘Clarion Call’. But forget La Roux, Ladyhawke, or any of that nonsense. This isn’t electronic pop for electrionic pop’s sake - this is the real deal, bought to you by four guys from Manchester who’ve just proved they can play as well on record as they can live.
A short and sweet review of Delphic’s debut ‘Acolyte’ for Bournemouth University’s student newspaper ‘The Wire’. Scans/photos of the published will appear here soon!
