Delta Spirit Release Expansive New Album at The Lodge

San Diego's Delta Spirit, a five-piece band fronted by Matt Vasquez, have been well known around the indie-rock circuit since touring with Dr. Dog in 2006. Fast forward to 2012, Delta Spirit released their self-titled third studio album (Rounder Records) on March 13th, 2012.

Produced by Chris Coady (Beach House, Grizzly Bear, Blonde Redhead), the album was recorded in an old church turned recording studio in Woodstock NY, mixed by legendary engineer Tchad Blake and mastered at The Lodge.

In a press release, Vasquez said of the new album:

“We found the sound that we’ve been looking for, that we’ve been growing into, and as soon as we hit on it, we ran with it. That’s why it’s a self-titled record, so we could connect our identity with what we think Delta Spirit is.”

Rolling Stone has written about Delta Spirit numerous times leading up to their self-titled album's release, including a glowing review and listed them in their "25 Can't Miss Acts of South by Southwest 2012". In support of their new album, the band has embarked on a nationwide tour, including a sold out show at NYC's Webster Hall. Check out the video for their stunning single, "California" below:
