Delphic Signs to Dangerbird Records

Jeff Castelaz, CEO and co-founder of Dangerbird, proudly welcomes the new signing and offers: "Starting when I was a kid, I'd find entire albums that seemed to illustrate my emotional and mental state at the exact moment the music entered my life. Bands like The Smiths, New Order, Love And Rockets all made records that, by turns, comforted and fueled my life during tough spells. When I heard Acolyte six months ago, it was clear to me that this band, this record, was for me, right now. Today, Delphic are not only that perfect companion for my current life - they've joined the Dangerbird gang."

A trio comprised of early twenty-somethings, Rick Boardman, Matt Cocksedge and James Cook, Delphic unabashedly blur the line between rock band and dance act. This is none more apparent than on stage where, with the addition of live instrumentation and a drummer, they transform their laptop-created songs into full four-on-the-floor catharsis. Produced with the Berlin-based techno master Ewan Pearson, the album was recorded mostly in Pearson's Berlin studio, with the city's flourishing techno scene bleeding into the crisp grooves but never to the detriment of the band's emotive songwriting.

Acolyte's release will be part of "Introducing," MySpace Music's new program, debuting April 1st, which is poised to help establish new artists. Delphic will receive key promotional opportunities both online and off, for twelve weeks, including single and video premieres, daily status updates, behind the scenes footage, a full album stream premiere, as well as many others.
