Today's edition of Artist Spotlight comes to us from a band out of the Golden State, more specifically San Diego, as we unravel the sounds of Delta Spirit. The band consists of Jon Jameson on bass, Brandon Young on percussion, Matthew Vasquez on lead vocals and guitars, Kelly Winrich as a multi-instrumentalist, and Will McLaren on guitar. The group has a wistful, relaxing indie rock sound to them that evokes all the mellow sounds emanating from the West Coast, and has a kind of escapist feel to them that makes it seem like you're traveling with the band down the highway and experiencing all the sights and sounds along with them, as their music plays gently in the background while taking in all the wondrous landscapes that are surrounding you. I first heard their song, appropriately enough titled "California" a while ago, and was intrigued with the band's mellow, organic indie rock style that didn't feel the need to have too much instrumentation that would have otherwise overwhelmed such beautiful and delicate songwriting that relies so heavily on melody to affect the listener in a deep and positive way. A great band that I look forward to hearing more of in 2013.
