The Fat Angel Sings

Delta Spirit plunged headlong into the emotional arena rock area they teased on their self-titled debuted album. As tacky as that may sound, the album is their most organic outing since the band’s debut, almost counter-intuitive to the idea of arena rock. Swelling anthems are a dime a dozen here, and almost all are worthy of doing 100 mph, top-down on Route 1 “From Now On”. There are other styles here unheard elsewhere in the band’s catalogue, like the earthen ballad that the album takes its name (which may or may not tease Tenacious D’s “Wonderboy”). If you’ve never heard the band before, start with this and work your way back. Then see them live as soon as possible they are quite wonderful.
