Delphic Confirm Debut Album Plans

Manchester's much hyped dance rock newcomers Delphic are set to release debut album 'Acolyte' on January 11th.

Manchester is a city where barriers break down. Blending Britain's industrial past with its technology based future, the Northern town has emerged from year's of decline on the back of an artistic explosion.

Having given the world New Order, Factory Records, the Hacienda and more Manchester has built a reputation for a stunning musical brew. Effortlessly mixing dance with rock, Delphic are set to follow two scorching singles with their full length debut.

Recorded with techno don Ewan Pearson in his Berlin studio, Delphic admit to being massive fans of his output. However the band are keen to point out that beneath their electronic grooves lie carefully crafted songs.

“With a lot of dance albums, you search out the singles but the rest is all a bit samey and boring,” says Matt Cocksedge. “We wrote the album as a whole and weren’t afraid to lower the tempos and concentrate on the songs.”

Aware of their heritage, Delphic admit that they take inspiration from their surroundings in Manchester. “Even though it’s had a cosmetic facelift, there’s a certain vibe to Manchester,” says Rick Boardman.

“There’s a challenge set down by Manchester’s heritage” Matt puts in, “and we want to look at how that applies to us, where to take that legacy, even surpass it.”
