As announced on the official Coachella page, stage times are out now for all bands playing this weekends festival and you’ll find Matador and True Panther bands well represented, without any clashes (…hopefully) too!
Surrounded as we are by an ever-increasing number of cameras in our daily lives, we begin to lose ownership of our own images. Anonymous technology is analyzing, categorizing and archiving our very existence.
Interpol, in collaboration with David Lynch, Andi Watson, HPX and Wieden & Kennedy present a visual juxtaposition of the seen and the unseen. As the observer becomes the observed, the performance explores the deepening layers of covert surveillance, morphing data acquisition into visual beauty and questioning the fine line between the viewer and the voyeur.
Featuring the premiere of the David Lynch animation “I Touch A Red Button Man” for the song “Lights”, and utilizing real-time visual manipulation from Seattle-based HPX, the performance will be streamed live to the internet as well as to the audience at Coachella.
Well, not a lot. But those of us who got hooked on Delorean last year will take what we can get. In addition to the Coachella appearance you may have read about, Delorean will be hitting San Francisco, Chicago and New York this summer. They may have some new treats (songs, lights, dances, holographic new band members, etc.) in store. We’ll just have to wait and see!
Thursday, April 14 – San Francisco – Slim’s Buy Tickets
Sunday, April 17 – Coachella Buy Tickets
Tuesday, April 19 – Chicago, IL – Lincoln Hall
Thursday, April 21 – Brooklyn, NY – Brooklyn Bowl
Though the above poster is not entirely accurate, we can finally confirm (ie. after everyone else has already reported it) the following members of the Matador / True Panther Sounds family will be appearing at The 12th Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival this coming April 15-17
Interpol
The New Pornographers
Cold Cave
Delorean
Glasser
As for the rest of the bill, well, we all have our favorites, but I’d like to issue a deep personal thank-you to the organizers for NOT BOOKINGTHESE DUDES.

A few months ago, when talking about the meaning behind the song “Real Love“ and possible ideas for a video Ekhi said something like “Real love is being in a state of conflict against the outside world”. Focus Creeps took this concept and ran with it, making a beautiful, dreamy and ultimately pretty psychedelic and creepy video for “Real Love”. Enjoy!

It’s been a hell of a month for Delorean, since their album Subiza came out June 8th. They just capped off an amazing trip around the US/Canada with an incredible performance at the Pitchfork festival. Guess what though? Things are just getting started. We present you Real Love, the new single from Subiza PLUS a whole new round of tour dates in November with label-mates Lemonade!
Real Love, shows off Delorean’s emotional and recorded textures: layers of synths and drums peppered with Ekhi’s emotional and immediate vocals. It’s at once exhilarating and heart-breaking. The single (available in limited hand-number 12″ and DS) assembles some tremendous remixes as well.

The wonderful folks over at Yours Truly did this sweet session with the Delorean guys in their Spanish home. They talk dubstep, their genesis, work and do an intimate and incredible version of “Grow” off of Subiza. PLUS, the guys announced another round of U.S. Tour dates. Tour dates below the video.

The version of “Grow” captured in this video is a studied and intimate version of what the band now plays live. It must be hard to be an ambitious musician in Barcelona. Having to tear yourself away from the lure of the white beaches and narrow cobblestone streets to compose in a windowless practice space almost seems impossible!
But it’s here in this video- the bare moments of composition and rehearsal, dissection of every detail that eventually adds up to an ecstatic experience imbued with emotional and musical heart. Ekhi refers to a “musical competition” that drives them to step beyond themselves, to take the time to draw from their surroundings and community to create something better than what’s come before. It’s amazing that Yours Truly captured the band figuring out how to perform the sounds they composed in isolation live. The video shows us the song in its most essential state- underneath the wash of synths and samplers is care and passion, deliberate and constant change. Summoning transcendence is hard spellcasting work and I’ve seen few people as committed to that craft in my life as Delorean. Good music breathes. YES, thank you!

The last few weeks have been pretty amazing for Delorean. Their tour of the states, opening up for Miike Snow carries on to prettyuniversalaffection. With that in mind we’re happy to let you know that Delorean is going to be back stateside a LOT this summer. Here’s just a taste for NYC’ers…much more on the way! Current tour dates, including headlining date in Seattle, at the bottom of this post.
Fri Jun 4 @Piano’s New York, NY TICKETS
Sat Jun 5 @Glasslands, Brooklyn, NY
Sat Jul 17 @Pitchfork Music Festival, Chicago, IL TICKETS
Americans and Canadian’s can pick up Subiza exclusively on iTunes NOW. Subiza will be available on all other digital stores worldwide on 4/20, and physically on 6/8 but for now go to iTunes and get it. Also, you can pre-order the record from the Matador Store and get an instant download as well.
If you party, and who among us doesn’t party, then you can answer the question “do you party?” by tuning in to Do You Party?, the dance music show that graces the airwaves of Minneapolis institution Radio K. Barcelona’s Delorean paid them a visit during a recent stop in the Twin Cities, and the resulting DJ set can be heard tonight at 9:00PM EDT / 8:00PM CDT. Party people in Minneapolis can listen on the usual baffling array of frequencies (104.5 FM [Minneapolis-St. Paul], 100.7 FM [St. Paul], 106.5 FM [Minneapolis] & 770 AM [Metro area]), and people who like their party a little less complicated can click here to listen online.
Fresh off the announcement of their signing to True Panther Sounds, Barcelona’s Delorean are in New York for a string of shows, and while they’re here, Igor and Ekhi will be stopping by the Fader’s radio show, The Let Out, on East Village Radio for a live guest DJ set. It happens at 6:00PM Eastern time on eastvillageradio.com. Tune in!

The best part about visiting Barcelona for Primavera Sound last year was entering the fantastic and magical world of Delorean. What we had thought was primarily a remix project turned out to be an enthralling and adventurous full-on band. We were surprised by what a massive and rabid Spanish fan base they had from two previous full-lengths while retaining a relatively low profile in the rest of the world. As it happens, Delorean are at the forefront of a burgeoning community of musicians, producers and dj’s who are mining the collective Spanish dance-music heritage of Balearic house and combining it with contemporary independent pop, European techno, shades of the ecstatic Madchester sound and hip hop – a perfect soundtrack to romantic nights along the white Mediterranean sands of Barcelona. Last summer’s Ayrton Senna EP soundtracked our lives upon return to the states. Ayrton Senna and their two full-length albums however, only hint at the journey that is Delorean’s infectious and innovative synthesis of dance musics and sounds.
It’s with all this in mind that we are so proud to announce the release of Delorean’s latest album Subiza available April 20th (digital) and June 8th (physical) on True Panther Sounds, available in Spain/Portugal/Mexico on the excellent Mushroom Pillow. Named after the bucolic Basque town in which the album was recorded, Subiza is the realization of a longtime ambition and marks a clear evolution for the band. The dance-club rhythms and airy melodies they’ve toyed with in the past are fused and textured, making for a deeply obsessive, hypnotic album that retains the easy appeal of great pop music. Looking at 30+ years of club music history with fresh eyes, Delorean have made an album that is dense and soulful. Our first listen to Subiza was exhilarating, every subsequent listen is a revelation.
Jump into Subiza below, with a hi-quality mp3 and video for the album’s first single, “Stay Close”. Video directed by Weird Days. The band is currently on tour with Miike Snow. Those of you that caught them in Austin can vouch for their live set, those of you who haven’t, here’s your chance!!! They’re coming back this summer for a round of headlining dates.
