Five years after bursting onto the scene, Delta Heavy unveil their eagerly
awaited debut album, ‘Paradise Lost’, due for release on March 18th 2016 on
Ram Records. One of the few acts whose sound effortlessly straddles the
Atlantic, the duo’s multi-dimensional versatility is evident throughout their
inaugural LP.
2015 saw the release of singles ‘Ghost’ and ‘Punish My Love’, accompanied
by their notoriously idiosyncratic animated music videos, the former of which
was nominated for three awards including ‘One Of a Kind’ in Vevo’s Year In
Music. This year sees an extensive world tour, and this 14 track opus is the
perfect lead up, tying in all aspects of drum and bass, cinematic soundscapes
and space-age house.
The album opens with the dystopian title track, an orchestral flurry of strings
that dissolve into a grinding, half time war much that resembles Gesaffelstein
on acid. “Event Horizon’, ‘Pathways’ and upcoming club single ‘Oscillator’ see
the duo in more familiar territory, complex and thundering sci-fi dancefloor
drum and bass; whilst ‘City of Dreams’ and ‘Cut Me’ demonstrate a lighter,
more melodic touch. Soaring top lines link the epic singles ‘Ghost’, ‘White
Flag’ and ‘Reborn’ whilst ‘Conquer The Galaxy’ takes future house into the
cosmos.
Underpinned by meticulous production and presented as a seamless
composition, ‘Paradise Lost’ represents a benchmark in the Delta Heavy
journey.
