Plushie Fanatic I have no idea how I stumbled upon this, but I'm glad I did. Has an idiosyncratic, vintage vibe that I can't get out of my head. Favorite track: Heartless Call.

I built this world Then I ripped it to pieces What has been learned? At changing of the seasons I stand in the stream And watch it run Forever curving Around the sun We built this world Now you’re just looking out for number one They say I’ve lost control They say my mind’s been altered Of all the lives I’ve loathed Mine is nothing like my fathers You had someone Then you set them straight You don’t want me to go You don’t want me to stay We built this world Then you threw it all away Go back and get some rest my friend You know that I just can’t sleep at all You need some time to clear your head How do you stop a cannon ball? We’ll hide our secrets until the end Now that’s just such a heartless call Needing you was my downfall I built this world Then I ripped it to pieces Now the wind has turned The wind does as she pleases All aboard For the goodbye train Lovers cut the cord Someday we’ll live again We built this world Then covered it all in rain Meeting you was my downfall

about

Into the viscous northwest - beyond the poplars - no service - terrains ripped to pieces - artificial light is a memory - the retina opens wide to catch a silhouette meandering down a dark gravel road. It’s one of us - called back to the land, yearning for symbiosis. The impossible air of a failure fading - ambitions spent - the picture of success has fallen from the frame. No more divide and destroy - already slaughtered in sunshine - chaos drowned in the waves of memories wake. We built this world then covered it all in rain.

Heartless Call, the second offering from DELUJN, compelled by a casually embarrassing bass riff and an audaciously fried rhythm, glittering guitars mimic horns & swell in the muted light of summers end, pulsing & prodding in a sunken world that suggests Felt, Sebastien Tellier, Cate LeBon, MGMT or Michael Rother. Something so familiar is at work here, an ice-blue orb of scenic reserve, genre bent and adventurous, instead of purist or old-world. There are so many groups trafficking grief but most stray into a defeatism that leave listeners even more flattened; John Skloves words are startling genuine, asking for help isn’t a weakness, his generosity of spirit is saying something about our communal experiences, that we're all inherently flawed just by virtue of being human. A testament to what happens when awareness and reason somehow survive a turbulent adulthood. Leisurely tempos, bittersweet moods and planetary melodies move us through these first-class emotions, trifling in ways that seem quintessentially scruffy and pacific rimmed.
