Q&A: Matt Vasquez of Delta Spirit

To not include a song's title in the lyrics is never a surprise. But when a song's title is a collection of numbers that can be interpreted several ways -- and the title is not mentioned in the song -- it requires the creator to add clarity. Or so one might think. // Tour dates at SoundSpike June 9, 2010 - To not include a song's title in the lyrics is never a surprise.

SXSW Performer: Delta Spirit (San Diego, CA)

February 27, 2009 - San Diego, CA's Delta Spirit exudes a loose-limbed and soulful vibe that exemplifies the quintet's origins in sunny California's sunniest southern corner. The group recorded its debut album, 2008's "Ode to Sunshine," in a cabin up in the mountains outside of San Diego, banging on trash cans and radiators to achieve a sound that veers somewhere between pop and gospel. If the band isn't exactly "authentic," they're at least definitely listenable, and frontman Matthew Vasquez's vocals are sweet without faking sincerity, emotional without (most of) the emo.
