DOWNLOAD: Delta Spirit - Bushwick Blues (MP3)
The Delta Spirit's second record, History From Below, came out earlier in June on Rounder Records. If you order it at Amazon, you get an exclusive bonus track.
That album's "Bushwick Blues" (which you can get above) was debuted here in May...and now there's video to accompany the impassioned lost-love tune. Though there's no audience at the session, recorded at Prairie Sun Studios in Cotati, CA, singer Matt Vazquez has no problem throwing himself into the song's romantic vortex. Somewhere around the two-minute mark the band seems to collectively fixate on the inevitability of the words, recharging for the final heartrending thrust a minute later.
The band has a pair of NYC shows coming up, at Bowery Ballroom on June 30th and Music Hall of Williamsburg on July 1st, both with Ezra Furman & the Harpoons and The Romany Rye. The first night of that is sold out but tickets for the second at MHOW are on sale.
Those shows are part of a larger tour for the band that continues all the way to California. All tour dates and the video are below...

weird how some bands get pushed on bv

Great song. I didn't know Jason Bateman drummed in this band.
Posted by Cindy | June 23, 2010 2:12 PM
One of those bands that strike the core of your soul, and that was before I saw them live. Next big thing in music.
Posted by Ryan | June 23, 2010 2:40 PM
You see, some bands get too much hype, others, not enough.
Posted by Hector | June 23, 2010 2:59 PM
Such a great young band. Everyone I know is blown away by the new record. It really grows on you, like any great record should/does.
Posted by Jermaine | June 23, 2010 3:01 PM
Does anyone else find it odd that this great young band is all but ignored by Pitchfork?

Here's a sweet vid from their Piano's show over the winter. http://vimeo.com/9771690. This song kicks ass live.

"Hey, we kicked out our singer for wearing flip-flops onstage and replaced him at the last minute with the dude who always sings "Tuesday's Gone" at karaoke nights and gets super pissed off if anyone else picks it. Thumbs up?" Hey, Delta Spirit, this sounds like the first single off a Wallflowers comeback album mastered by Billy Bremner. It's really got that classic cannonball-onto-a-pool-cover floor tom sound I always associate with J.D. and the gang. It's also nice to know that eighth-note downstroke stiff-arming is still guitar-ese for "fuck me" in 2010. Either that, or we're still in the throes of the industry-wide bursitis epidemic that started around the time of "This Is It".
And "Bushwick Blues"?! You can do better than that. Make use of all the dumpstered medical dictionaries, almanacs, Playboy sci-fi bullet-stoppers and shitty serial clit-diddlers you dragged in off the streets to bulk up your bookshelves and call it something like "Hydraulic Horizon" or "Candiria" or "Viridinous Skyline" or something. Girls will appreciate that. If you're really at a loss, find that list of horse names in Finnegans Wake, close your eyes and point to one. Works every fuckin' time.

@3:10 - I've been checking since the album came out. Nothing. Maybe they will get around to reviewing it soon.

Awesome record and been waiting for these 2 shows all summer. Thanks for the vid BV!

re: T, 3:30:
Nowhere in your rambling, incoherent response did you come close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. We are all dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.

Best live band around.

T took four days to read, re-read, and correct his or her essay. It's so clever and ironic and clearly indicates his/her knowledge of music and all things cliche. How very subtle of you.
