BIG BLACK DELTA TO RELEASE DEBUT
SELF-TITLED ALBUM ON APRIL 9TH
NEW SINGLE "SIDE OF THE ROAD" CURRENTLY PREMIERING AT MTV HIVE
LOS ANGELES, CA - Big Black Delta
will release their long awaited debut full-length album on April 9th on
CD, download, and 12" vinyl via Masters of Bates. The self-titled
offering features a collection of tracks fusing ambient electronic rock
with uplifting melodies to create a sound that refuses to be denied. The
album's first single "Side of the Road" - a slice of rocky, distorted,
melodic loveliness - is currently premiering at MTV Hive HERE.
The single will feature remixes in the coming weeks from producer
extraordinaire Emperor Machine, Dinamo Azari, of Azari & III fame,
and techno whizz John Tejada.
The
brainchild of Los Angeles native Jonathan Bates, Big Black Delta's
explosive live show features dueling drummers and an orchestrated light
show using visual elements of the bespoke album artwork, which was
created by Bates himself and creative director Caspar Newbolt. No
stranger to pushing boundaries, LA based Bates was, until recently, the
driving force behind alt rock favorites Mellowdrone, has been heavily
involved in M83's live and studio sound and has also worked with the
likes of White Sea, among others.
The
announcement of the forthcoming April release follows a productive
2012, which saw Big Black Delta tour with Jane's Addiction, The Joy
Formidable, M83 and brought the release of tracks including
'IFUCKINGLOVEYOU' and 'Betamax' much to the delight of bloggers
everywhere. The band also collected some heavyweight fans with Jay-Z and
Dave Navarro taking to their online outlets to heap praise on the band.
Big Black Delta has also been in demand for remixes for Daft Punk, Rob
Zombie, M83, Dhani Harrison's Thenewno2's and most recently Maynard from
Tool's new project Puscifer.
Big Black Delta will appear at next month's Austin's South By Southwest. Stay tuned for additional dates to be announced.
"Big Black Delta sound so massive, it's going to be weird if they don't actually become massive." The Guardian
"...if
you can black the windows, close your eyes, and imagine that sort of
cosmic, sonic otherworldly hissing between the stars, the result would
be Big Black Delta."
