Prior to relocating, Deliluh made brooding post-rock, with all the requisite guitar noise and deadpan spoken word lyrics it entails. The lineup change gives Deliluh the opportunity to diversify their pallet, embracing aspects of drone, industrial rock, and ambient, where Knapp’s poetry is able to shine more prominently.
A swirling pot of crooked hooks, haunting textures, and looming melodies make up Deliluh’s latest, Beneath the Floors. “Conceived under the gun” of an expiring visa and recorded in an old veteran’s hall, the album demonstrates their accomplishment in creating ten sinuous songs, working with what they had in the time they were given.
Toronto’s Deliluh are getting ready to release their second record of the year, Beneath The Floors, a new full length to accompany this Spring’s Oath Of Intent. Due out November 15th via Telephone Explosion and Tin Angel Records, the art-punk band continue to dig into diamond tough post-punk and exuberant experimentation.
We’re back with an episode from the vaults, dating back nearly two months to early May! We explore the idea of heavy music and bands taking non-traditional approaches to all things heavy with new music from Cave In, Big|Brave, Lungbutter, Urochromes, and Deliluh. We shout out many things that have already happened in retrospect, but it’s still a heaping load of heavy music fun.
