Hot New Talent Alert: Delphic

Delphic is a brand-new, crunchy electro trio consisting of Richard Boardman, Matthew Cocksedge and James Cook from Manchester, England.

The three met last year and bonded over their passion for everything dance and electronic. The group likes to describe their music as a spontaneous brew of electronic music played by a live band.

"They make their music on laptops before figuring out how to play it live, throwing guitars, bass and drums over the electronics to result in their unique sound, then take to the stage and stitch their songs together into one continuous euphoric DJ set-like onslaught."

Watch the video for their debut single, "Counterpoint" after the jump, It's a propulsive, emo-filled electro stomper that incorporates elements reminiscent of British nu-ravers the Klaxons with the '80s sensibilities of New Order. The track was produced by Berlin based producer/remixer Ewan Pearson who is soon to start work in Berlin with the band on their debut album, due for release later this year. Delphic is currently touring with Bloc Party in Europe.
