 Delorean helped define the bright, beachside vibe of last summer's indie landscape, but they also deserve to be placed in a broader context. On their new album, Subiza, the Spanish four-piece deploys the build-and-burst tempos of 90s house and techno music, and they do so explicitly, never shying away from arms-in-the-air piano bridges or incandescent raves. This music is proudly informed by the resiliency and vigor of classic club music, and its title (named after the Basque town in which the album was recorded) recalls the famously nightclub-centric Ibiza and the Balearic dance music that originated there.
Delorean's musical growth isn't far removed from the evolution of Primal Scream. Like Delorean, Primal Scream were a dance-rock band with more traditional, rock-leaning origins (Delorean formed as a no-frills indie group) who ended up embracing druggy dance subculture. Over time, Screamadelica became a part of the 1990s pop firmament to the point where it no longer sounds like a blending of much of anything. Depending on which ways the trend-winds blow, observers may one day question why Subiza was ever labeled as anything more than uptempo indie rock....full text |

| Spanish four-piece Delorean has been kicking around the dance-pop scene for awhile now, remixing the Teenagers and Mystery Jets in 2008, then releasing the hype-building Ayrton Senna EP in 2009. Now after playing nearly every conceivable showcase at the 2009 CMJ, the band releases Subiza, its first full-length album. Mixed by Chris Coady, who's worked with !!! & Telepathe, and recorded by Hans Kruger, who sounds like a bad guy from Die Hard, Subiza promises to be yet another set of danceable, summery pop tracks....full text |

Spanish four-piece Delorean make the kind of music that longs to be played on a warm summer's evening, possibly around a campfire, probably in a gorgeous beach setting. Subiza, the follow-up to last year's rapturously received Ayrton Senna EP, replicates the cinematic dance pop that Animal Collective and Cut Copy have moved towards in recent years.
Opener Stay Close could easily have been taken from the former's Merriweather Post Pavilion album, all shimmering percussion, slowly building tension and a smattering of those odd yelps and vocal tics that peppered the album. Where the two bands differ, however, is that Delorean's melodies are less up tight. It's less of a struggle to enjoy the songs they create and, as Stay Close slides effortlessly along to its joyful conclusion, you're lost in a swathe of keyboards and vocal swirls....full text |
