Last month, the UK’s Deluka released their new album You Are The Night much to the joy of dance music lovers everywhere. They’ve just released a new remix of their single ‘OMFG’ by Innerparty System and have a handful of tour dates at which to catch them before Christmas. Of particular interest to those in New York should be the Rockbar show with Oh Land from Denmark, whom writer Amy loved during CMJ.
Deluka Tour Dates:
11/24: Washington, DC @ U Street Music Hall
12/04: New York, NY @ Rockbar w/ Oh Land
12/22: Birmingham, UK @ Hare and Hounds

Highlighting selections from their forthcoming debut album (due out in September) alongside the bulk of their magnificent self-titled EP, Deluka justified their growing buzz with poise and finesse. TMS Rating: 9/10. Read my Q&A with Deluka here. Follow ‘em on Twitter. Pics via Edward Einhorn.

Earlier today, I chatted with Deluka’s Ellie Innocenti. Our full exchange:
1. How would you describe Deluka in twenty words or less?
We’re an English band in New York, we make dance music with guitars, or guitar music you can dance to.
2. What’s the inspiration behind the video for ‘Cascade’?
We worked with fashion photographer Antoine Verglas, we’d done a photo shoot with him that turned out great and he was pretty taken with our music, so he suggested he make the video and we jumped at the chance to work with him again. We all wanted it to be a performance video rather than a narrative video as it’s the first introduction to us as a band. Antoine was very much like ‘turn up in your own clothes exactly how you look and play’. He has a great eye for making you look good too. There’s loads of light imagery in the lyrics and we were lucky enough to get Michael Appel from MTV who made the lighting look like an especially well lit show!
