After trotting around the globe for 290 shows over the last two years, golden state four-piece Delta Spirit have managed to churn out their Sophomore long player, History From Below – a first-rate follow-up to their critically acclaimed debut, Ode To Sunshine. Front man Matthew Vasquez explains, “It’s been three years of straight touring off our last record so most of the songs were written in hotel rooms and tested in front of an audience. We spent six months of this last year making a record that sums up three years of growing up.”Our rock ‘n roll stethoscopes have been swinging to the sweltering urgency of lead single “Bushwick Blues.” Laid down at Prairie Sun Studio C in Cotati, CA – the setting for an exorcism and a pair Tom Waits’ Grammy winning albums, “Bushwick Blues” drives like an air raid and takes flight like a runaway freight train. The cut crests at the tail-end with Vasquez’s lip-curling bark: “Because my love is strong / And my heart is weak after all.”
