Music / IncomingMeet Deluka from BirminghamThe electro four piece swerve out of the way of the bandwagon.ShareLink copied ✔️April 27, 2007MusicIncoming World, meet Deluka: we suspect they may soon be your favourite band. Their danceable, hook-packed, attitude-laden sound impacts like a sharp slap in the face. Landing amidst a flurry of indie crossover acts, this Birmingham fourpiece are currently taking on the new wave of electro heads with their second limited edition single, "I'll Wait", and a tour with dates in Paris and Berlin.But Deluka are keen to insist that they're not nu-rave: "There seems to be a kind of zeitgeist in indie music at the moment," says bass player Daniel Brasco. "Everyone wants to make music upbeat and danceable again, following a surge of White Stripes inspired bands a few years ago. A lot of acts are using electronics in various ways, which is something we've always done.""You certainly won't catch us jumping onto any bandwagon," adds guitarist Kris. "We just want to have fun."Released earlier this week, "I'll Wait" is all distorted guitar riffs and analogue synth. There's no faulting frontwoman Ellie Innocenti's impeccable vocals, which recount the tale of a friendship gone wrong over layers of subtle synths. B-side "Sleep Is Impossible" is equally impressive, the most recent in a line of newly-produced tracks – be sure to also check out "Flashbacks" and "Finito". As part of a genre in which remixes make as much impact as the originals, we reckon they're just waiting to be tampered with. In the best way possible that is. Escape the algorithm!
