The self-titled offering features a collection of tracks fusing ambient electronic rock with uplifting melodies to create a sound that refuses to be denied. The album’s first single “Side of the Road” was declared a “Best New Track” by Pitchfork, who also premiered the music video for the song (see below), directed by Warren Kommers.

“Side of the Road” quickly garnered the attention of remix masters Emperor Machine and Dinamo Azari, who each added their unique style to the track. Check out Emperor Machine’s remix, premiered on Blah Blah Blah Science and Dinamo Azari’s remix, premiered on The Guardian.

To celebrate the forthcoming album release, on April 29th Big Black Delta will perform at Bardot in Los Angeles for an album launch show in association with KCRW’s School Night concert series. Stay tuned for additional live dates to be announced in the coming weeks.

The brainchild of Los Angeles native Jonathan Bates, Big Black Delta’s explosive live show features dueling drummers and an orchestrated light show using visual elements of the bespoke album artwork, which was created by Bates himself and creative director Caspar Newbolt. No stranger to pushing boundaries, LA based Bates was, until recently, the driving force behind alt rock favorites Mellowdrone, has been heavily involved in M83’s live and studio sound and has also worked with the likes of White Sea, among others.

Big Black Delta spent most of 2012 on tour with Jane’s Addiction, The Joy Formidable, M83 and releasing the first tracks off the new album, including ‘IFUCKINGLOVEYOU’ and ‘Betamax’ much to the delight of bloggers everywhere. The band also collected some heavyweight fans with Jay-Z and Dave Navarro taking to their online outlets to heap praise on the band. Big Black Delta has also been in demand for remixes for Daft Punk, Rob Zombie, M83, Dhani Harrison’s Thenewno2’s and most recently Maynard from Tool’s new project Puscifer.
