Delta Machine

A gritty fusion of Delta blues and modular synthesis. Dark, soulful, and heavy with analog texture, it captures the band at their most experimental and raw.

It's like a futuristic blues club where the guitars are made of wires and the air is pure electricity.

A heavy, shadow-drenched exploration of faith and desire wrapped in gritty analog electronics.

The instrumentation foregrounds modular synth far more than the catalogue usually does.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden explosion of distorted synth and heavy percussion that opens Welcome to My World.
Dave Gahan's soaring, fragile falsetto during the climax of Should Be Higher.
The way the electronic pulse in My Little Universe strips back to a skeletal, clicking heartbeat.
The swampy, slide guitar blues riff that grounds the industrial stomp of Goodbye.
