Delorean's "Ayrton Senna EP" sported one of my favorite beach tracks of summer '09, "Seasun". The super-thumper track was just perfect for ear-shattering Sparkplug experience whilst walking to the nearest shoreside lounge. This summer the Barcelona group is releasing a long player called "Subiza". If the opener, Stay Close, gives any reference point to the rest of the album we're in for a treat. It's one of those songs that hint on fun times beginning on a sun drenched beach or a crowded pavilion.
The song starts with a few cut-up vocals and a bit of synth bell jingle, building up to a jittering verse that keeps on growing, without ever really delivering to a full blown climax, until you are finally ready to get up and forget whatever it was you were doing and embark to the silliest dance move you have ever failed to master. And then it ends, leaving you to wonder at the ecstatic explosion of synths and drumbeats that should, if there's any justice in the world, follow.
So mark June 8th on your calendars. Or pre-order to get an instant download of the full album.
There's also two videos for "Stay Close" and they're both all about beach haze.
