Subiza was written from January to June 2009 in Barcelona. Recorded in July and August 2009 at Montreal Studios (Spain) and mixed at DNA Studios in NY, Autumn 2009. Mastered at The Exchange in December 2009. TRUE 030-2 01. Delorean. Subiza (CD, Album, Promo).
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
It's no surprise that they come from Barcelona, recorded this album only a few miles away from Pamplona, and DJ regularly in the area - it evokes the beaches of Ibiza so perfectly that at times, you need to stand back and remind yourself that you're listening to a guitar band. After being battered with dance-rock acts who don't understand the first thing about dance for the last five years, this is a revelation.
For impact Delorean rely on mid-frequency italo-disco rhythmical ratatats, and these underpin a defined canvas that the group then fill with warm, complimenting mixes of staccato motifs and shimmering reverb. It's like layering a cake, only to go and stick your finger right through the middle of it. It's successful in so far as tracks like 'Infinite Desert' can wash over the listener yet remain immediate enough for them to keep focus. with frequently joyous results. Subiza exists as both an album from the past and one for the now, a phantasmagorical uncoupling from reality. Let's enjoy it before the rest of the copycats follow suit.
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. Named in honor of the small Basque town where it was recorded, Subiza could also be a neologism that describes Delorean’s hybrid aesthetic: While Subiza clearly conveys the spring break forever spirit of Ibiza techno through its house synth refrains and resonant, decadent rhythms, the album also speaks to the Spanish band’s under-the-radar indie-rock background through a structural.
