New Noise // Big Black Delta

Big Black Delta is the solo project of Jonathan Bates – an outlet for his raw, abrasive, electronica-tinged pop music. He moved on from his last band, Mellowdrone, because he wasn’t sure that it was working, which we can’t quite understand because, for us, having a wikipedia page and being featured on the FIFA 07 soundtrack would be the height of our musical careers. It would be on our epitaph. As a discerning musician, what more can you ask for?

But it seems that Mr Bates is more ambitious than that, and new single ‘Huggin & Kissin’ is more than enough proof that that ambition has been paid off. Its an absolutely thunderous introduction to him, a coarse, hopeless anthem riddled by frustration that sounds like a logical progression from Jai Paul’s ‘BTSTU’. You can download his vicious, Cold-Cave-esq first EP for free at his web-site.
