“One of our happiest finds this year… Making some of the nicest post-rock we've heard in a good while it is surprising just how good this band sounds. And live. Well, lets just say they will blow every pair of socks you have on straight off...”
- Lounge on the Farm festival
“This group of four guys and one girl make the sort of mind-blowing, intelligent and creative creations that make you want to hurt them for being so talented. They tap guitars, they double up the bass drums, they sing in different languages, they make bleepy sounds from laptops — is there anything these guys can’t do?” - Sellindge Music Festival

Bio
Conceived in March of 2008 in Canterbury, 'Delta Sleep' was driven by a desire to create fun and original, forward-thinking music. Made of self-taught and honest musicians, their songs are as complex as they are catchy.
Their music combines guitar driven melodies, held together by jazz influenced percussion and relentless bass, topped with sprinkles of left-field electronica. To coin Delta Sleep’s sound is a hard task indeed, but has once been described by a wise old man as an “enchanted battle between 'At The Drive-In' and 'Mogwai' for the city of 'Radiohead' in the land of 'Aphex Twin'”. Their playfulness invokes jellybaby riffs, and their hospitality will warm you through on a crisp winter's day.
Their recent support slots include bands such as 'Cougar' (USA, Ninjatune), 'Tubelord' and various other bands signed to Big Scary Monsters, Kentish heroes 'Jairus' and 'Up C Down C' along with two appearances at Lounge on the Farm Festival (Voted NME's best line-up of 2009), Delta Sleep has been turning heads wherever they go.
With regular radio play on BBC Kent Introducing and Demo of the Month on the Big Scary Monsters podcast, 2010 certainly holds much in store for these chaps and chapess!
Delta Sleep have just finished recording their debut EP which will be available online and through other mediums as of April 2010.
