Emerging experimental art-rock group Deliluh have announced a brand-new mini LP for release on May 3rd, 2019, via Tin Angel Records (UK/EU) and Telephone Explosion (CA/US) .
“Oath of Intent” comes hot off the heels of a year spent tracking fresh ideas to tape in local veteran’s hall Owls Club. “Oath of Intent” is a summer sibling, one of two albums birthed in the community space, and documents the group in its most cut-throat realisation to date.
Today the band share a first cut from the record, - “Freeloader Feast” is a visceral explosion, gritty and urgent as it arrives. The accompanying video was shot on 16 mm film in a vacant room of the band’s apartment with friends and neighbours discussing their everyday lives and personal struggles. The negatives were later distressed by members of the band (and nearly destroyed) through various combined methods; boiling, burning, scratching, painting, bleaching and other means of chemical tampering (detergent, window cleaner, ammonia, etc). The results portray the vulnerability of people under the pressures of modernity that escalate out of their control.
Following on from their self-produced debut LP “Day Catcher” (released via Hand Drawn Dracula, 2018), new EP “Oath of Intent” tells tales that pick apart the conflict and unease within our human makeup, respectively inhabiting its characters and peering through anxious lenses at the past, present and future, with lyrical tenacity and razor-sharp tact. Swift instrumental exchanges are opted in preference to layers or blending, delivering an experience front-to-back like a tight collection of hard-boiled short stories.

Deliluh’s live propensity to ignore the traditional circuit of bars and clubs in favour of unconventional venues has built a reputation at home, and one they intend to maintain. Over the past few years, they’ve given audiences a variety of performances in bakeries, libraries, apartments, and a decommissioned subway platform. They embark on a tour of the UK and Europe this May, with festival appearances across Canada to follow throughout the summer. The band hail from Toronto and have solidified a reputation as a torchbearer for the DIY music community. The exciting post-punk quartet combine drone and experimental music into a fiercely resonating sonic identity.
The group’s slow-burning force is becoming more potent by the month. Foregoing the clean polish of professional studios for living spaces of contextual importance, Deliluh’s dedication to thoughtful writing and analog documentation has been a constant process that’s kept loyal fans highly anticipating their culminate fruit in this year’s offerings.
