Man, that Wavves "meltdown" really bummed me out. Not because a rising lo-fi rocker acted stupidly-- who doesn't sometimes?-- but because I'd always imagined being on ecstasy in Barcelona would be a lot more fun. After all, some of the most rewarding music from the last couple of years basically promised as much. Or was Swedish imprint Sincerely Yours being insincere? How about U.S. labels True Panther and Underwater Peoples? From Oslo to Melbourne, from indie rockers to club kids, sunny electronic euphoria has been one of the late-2000s pop underground's richest musical nodes.Just as that endless blissed-out summery vibe unites everyone from Panda Bear to Todd Terje, Barcelona electro-pop four-piece Delorean pull up at the intersection between several disparate and exciting movements. Start with their remixes: In the U.S., the bedroom pop of Glasser and disco-punk of Lemonade; in the UK, the NME-approved guitar rock of the Big Pink and Mystery Jets; and, right in Delorean's hometown, the sample-heavy tropical psych of El Guincho. They can be as airy and suave as Air France or Phoenix, but their unremitting beats are also plenty huge enough to convert fans of Cut Copy or MGMT. John Talabot, a Barcelona DJ who's released cosmic disco grooves for Munich label Permanent Vacation, lends a house remix to the group's current EP, Ayrton Senna....full text |

| DELOREAN Mushroom Pillow, Spain ***1/2 Rating: 77 By Jean-Stephane Beriot Although almost virtually unknown in Latin America, I’ve followed the steps of Delorean carefully as I’m anticipating a masterwork to arrive and break them into massive proportions. They’re a young electropop act from Barcelona and just for the sake of making a comparison; I would say they sound like a sassier side of The Pinker Tones, or even closer, to Mexico’s Bufi and Neon Walrus. The band has sparked attention from American music critics for their memorable remixes for several bands like The Mystery Jets and The Teenagers. Ayrton Senna EP is their fourth release (their first one with Spain’s magnificent label Mushroom Pillow), as truthful supporters of the EP format they keep things fresh; they make a point without getting lost in pretension or difficult cinematic moments. They make it clear they’re having fun and want to pass the enjoyment along. These are four harmless pieces that although never really support a single vision they don’t stop the EP to reveal blissful charisma and plenty of catchiness. Opener “Big Deeper” is a very generic way to start engines, but they don’t quite make it in their search to “find our way into the sun.” There is a suspension in all four tracks that really keeps everything in order, the numinous background vocals are present throughout but mostly effective in “Deli.” If there’s a chance for Delorian to fully internationalize, "Moonson" is the way to go, is tremendously catchy, memorable and as radio-friendly as Hellogoodbye. It’s got so much appeal that it almost steps in MGMT – Empire of the Sun territory. Yes, I’ve listed enough references, but it happens that they carry their influences with total acceptance and that by itself is remarkable. One of the most solid electro pop albums I’ve heard this year joining the awesome works by Neon Walrus, Golden Silvers and The Field....full text |
