Delta Spirit - Ode to Sunshine
The gospel according to Delta Spirit is drawn from the scriptures of Woody Guthrie and Kurt Cobain. The San Diego band mixes Calexico-style Americana with a smells-like-Seattle brand of punk. And frontman Matt Vasquez sings with the soulfulness of a Baptist preacher. The group’s debut combines moody, folk-infused numbers like “House Built for Two” and “People, Turn Around” and rousing showstoppers like “Trashcan” and “People C’mon” that are guaranteed to set revival tents on fire. Be prepared to testify.
