Delta Machine

A gritty fusion of Delta blues and modular synthesis. Dark, soulful, and heavy with analog texture, it captures the band at their most experimental and raw.

March 22, 2013 · Columbia

A heavy, shadow-drenched exploration of faith and desire wrapped in gritty analog electronics.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden explosion of distorted synth and heavy percussion that opens Welcome to My World.
Dave Gahan's soaring, fragile falsetto during the climax of Should Be Higher.
The way the electronic pulse in My Little Universe strips back to a skeletal, clicking heartbeat.
The swampy, slide guitar blues riff that grounds the industrial stomp of Goodbye.
