Editorial Reviews

Norway's Delaware is an alternative pop indie band with a distinctive sound, characterized by angelic, raw, and desperate vocals. The combination of diverse elements in their music makes it both beautiful to the ear and interesting for the mind. Delicate, almost acoustic ballads turn into monsters of screaming guitars and pounding drums. They do it with heart and mind, and each contrast feels natural. This is their second album and first US release. Not your typical Metropolis band, nor your typical pop rock band. This is a record destined for radio stardom as well as for quiet listening with your special someone.

Haven't heard too many really great albums this year - until I came upon this Norwegian group with the decidedly American name of "DELAWARE". Not American sounding, though. No, rather like a number of other lesser-known Euro bands I love, like Iceland's "LEAVES" or the British band "SOUTH". Bands that can take the rather boring guitar-bass-drums sound to new heights, by simply employing great space, texture and melodic songwriting in their output. A description of these guys might even be: a harder version of a combination of Radiohead and Coldplay! Or, if you're into any of the new generation of Brit-pop bands like Keane, Snow Patrol or The Doves, then this album is for you - a collection of great songs, that flow in shades of quiet and loud, with vocals that run the gamut from croon to angst, usually in the space of one song! Really, check this out! I can only imagine how great their future output could be.....if people will only catch on to them now.

This band is amazing. I downloaded an iTunes sampler from Facebook and when I heard the song Wish for, I was totally hooked. I just ordered the CD and can't wait to get it. I highly recommend this CD.

Just found this group while scanning the Metropolis Records Lable and was amazed. Crisp and melodic, a welcome blend of the songs that invoke a faint smile and quite thoughfullness, as well as a few that get the blood pumping.

Very glad I found them!

To get a taste I suggest visiting their MySpace page[...]

And that's a good thing! heh

Good luck on the next album guys...can't wait!

Regards,
