It's All Indie: Top 20 - #4

Delphic - Doubt

A lot can be said about this track, and god darn it, I am going the beans on this one! Doubt has scatter-shot electronic squelches, hushed vocals and robotic drum loops are actually more akin to recent Bloc Party. However, Delphic have a lighter touch and greater pop leanings than Kele Okereke's band...



Delphic are one of those bands who can’t really decide what genre of music they want to be, trying to cover at least three (indie, electro and amazing) throughout the course of their single ‘Doubt.’ 'Doubt' opens with lots of vocals layered on top of each other. The chorus is very anthem-esque and they’re obviously gearing up for the rest of the year gigging with this song and getting a headline spot at a summer festival.

Track of the day... Delphic - Counterpoint

The song that I seem to find myself always listening to from the album is “counterpoint”, which I believe is the first single released last year prior to the album.

It seems to be a sort of breakup song, with a man seemingly wandering around town aimlessly, telling himself over and over that nothings wrong. the lyrics are a great contrast to the music, which is upbeat and danceable and electro-pop-y like no other. If you like any of the groups I mentioned above, i dare, nay, double doggy dare you, to not love this one.

Today its the turn of a brilliant band from Manchester... DELPHIC

A lot can be said about this track, and god darn it, I am going the beans on this one! Doubt'has scatter-shot electronic squelches, hushed vocals and robotic drum loops are actually more akin to recent Bloc Party. However, Delphic have a lighter touch and greater pop leanings than Kele Okereke's gang.

Even during the slightly cryptic chorus ("Doubt, in it all for me, I've hit the wall, all that's left for you is doubt, better you than me, I've so far to fall"), there's an immediacy and warmth to the track which suggests that there's more to these Manc upstarts than New Year hype.

Delphic have morphed what should be a boring indie track into an exciting electronic masterpiece that both radio and clubs (let's face it, this single has 'remix' written all over it) will be playing over and over again.
