Modular People

January 22, 2010

Splicing New Order's patent Mancunian brand of indie disco intellectualism, Delphic are the next top drop in a long line of UK acts to make timeless pop music from sonic fragments of the future. It's a debut album of ecstatic everyman anthems equally at home on a main stage or lost out in the middle of a dancefloor. Produced with the Berlin-based techno émigré Ewan Pearson, it's evident the city's flourishing techno scene was bleeding into the crisp grooves inherent in "Acolyte", however never to the detriment of the band's emotive songwriting.
