Splicing New Order's patent Mancunian brand of indie disco intellectualism with the unbound, arms aloft euphoria of Orbital, 'Acolyte' is a debut album of ecstatic everyman anthems equally at home on a main stage or lost out in the middle of the floor.
'Acolyte' is the debut album from the Manchester dance / indie pop trio, Delphic.
Produced with the Germany-based techno émigré, Ewan Pearson, 'Acolyte' was recorded mostly in his Berlin studio - the city's flourishing techno scene bleeding into the crisp grooves but never to the detriment of the band's emotive songwriting.
Whether on the explosively percussive, "Clarion Call"; the lost longing of "Submission"; the sheer contagiousness of "Halcyon"; or the epic scope of the title track, Delphic consistently demonstrate their ability to write massive songs is equal to their ability to build bangin' beats.
