Described at their show at The Junction in Cambridge last week as, “Foals with glow sticks”, Delphic have done an about turn since their first album, Acolyte, which was a dance-inspired mash up of euphoric builds and vocals flips between the heart-bleeding end of Bloc Party and the shoutier end of Klaxons.
Collections is a slinkier, yet mismatched assemblage of moody pop.
The band’s first single, Baiya, from this new album, however, will likely lose them the glow stick-wielding fanbase they’ve built thus far, but this seems to have been their intention.
Delphic promises to be a band that never produces the same album twice, so if you weren’t feeling their synth-heavy debut, nor this smoother, more professionally arranged follow up, revisit them upon their next release and they may have something for you.
