Universal Audio:The Delgados

Universal Audio
Label: Chemikal Underground

Genre: Indie-pop

Rating: 7.2 of 10

Scotland’s pop powerhouse quartet, the Delgados, have returned with their fifth full length. Named after Pedro Delgado, a famous Scottish cyclist, the band, consisting of Alun Woodward (vocals/guitar), Emma Pollock (vocals/guitar), Stewart Henderson (vocals/bass) and Paul Savage (drums), have created an album based on harmonies. Like any solid pop record, most of the concentration is put on the lead vocal melody (whether it is male or female); three and four part vocal harmonies are present in the background of almost every song, along with the support of damn catchy indie guitar hooks and bouncy bass lines. This will definitely appeal to fans of other Scottish-pop notables like Belle & Sebastian and Mogwai (who is part of the Chemikal Underground roster, owned and run by the Delgados), along with indie-pop acts like The Shins, etc. Universal Audio will be another underground success for the Delgados, packaged with NME and other British press praise.
