The best music in the United States may come out of New York City, but now and again NYC has to borrow a collective or two from somewhere else...perhaps the UK? That's the case with Brooklyn-via-Birmingham quartet Deluka, who describe their genre as future rock and roll. Yeah, that seems accurate. You listen to "Stranger Than Fiction" and try to come up with a better name for it.
I like a lot about "Stranger Than Fiction." Lead Ellie Innocenti sounds like a pysch-laden Emily Haines; hell yes. I also understand everything she sings, which doesn't hurt (especially after I gave up trying to type out the lyrics of "Grapevine Valentine" two nights ago). The guitar work is majestic, the lyrics drip with brilliance, and perhaps, this is proof that perfect music is not fiction after all. So why not give your afternoon the sixties-throwback-meets-NYC-underground injection it needs?
