\"\"I wouldn\u2019t say Brighton\u2019s Delta Sleep<\/b> are genre-defying, but it\u2019s fair to say that the 4 individual members are holding hands in a line each with a foot in a differently marked door. Sophomore album \u2018Twin Galaxies\u2019<\/i> could have ended up an absolute car crash, but it\u2019s actually a coherent and at times deliciously enticing cross pollination of styles.<\/figure>\n

Utilising the discordant time signature changes so beloved of The Dillinger Escape Plan and their ilk, they apply that logic to a classic indie style that owes as much to the glory days of US college rock as it does the native sounds of the British Isles. Early Biffy Clyro is a glaringly obvious reference point but Delta Sleep<\/b> are far from copyists. They\u2019ve done a pretty job of taking their influences and jumbling them up into an engaging format that borrows a bit from here and a bit from there without ever over-egging the end product.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

They have an uncanny ability to skip between styles within the space of a single song as well. \u201921 Letters\u2019<\/i> goes from big math-rock wig-outs to emo pleasantry before crashing forth into screeching discordance once more. Following such a genre-bender with the delicate interlude of \u2018Aspetta\u2019<\/i> is a genius stroke that shows a band who know how to play around with light and dark to great effect. <\/p>\n

Delta Sleep<\/b> are also rather canny when it comes to electro ambience, it would seem. \u2018Spy Turtles\u2019<\/i> is utterly glorious as an exercise in gentle atmospherics and whilst I doubt the band were aiming for it being the album highlight, it absolutely is. Kudos is given for twinning it with \u2018Spy Dolphin\u2019<\/i>, the albums poppiest moment, as well. As a pairing they sit beautifully together.<\/p>\n

Delta Sleep<\/b> have gone for a tricky sound and pretty much nailed it. Whether \u2018Twin Galaxies\u2019<\/i> lives long in the memory remains to be seen, but for now, it hits the spot with ease.<\/p>\n
