Delicate Steve

Add Date: January 25 

Artist: Delicate Steve 

Album: Wondervisions 

Label: Luaka Bop

Genre: Experimental 

Comments: Delicate Steve's Wondervisions is an upbeat, textural album that is melodic, lyrical, and sans vocals. The creative guitar work and production is impressive, to say the least--and to say it better, an excerpt from a "non-controversial fictitious bio" by Chuck Klosterman (the group has quite the fans)--"Like a hydo-electric Mothra rising from the ashes of an African village burned to the ground by post-rock minotaurs, the muisc of Delicate Steve will literally make you the happiest person who has never lived". It's experimental but delightfully unpretentious; try tracks 2, 4 and 7.
