I Know
Plastic Pill
Music is discovery, altered states of consciousness, and
exploration. delusional isn't interested in chasing
the sound of the moment, but instead embarks on a sonic
journey. Through the progression, the band manages to
create something distinctive, embracing rich melodies
and sensuous rhythms. In the true spirit of the electric
mainline, it's always about the music.
Sharing the song writing duties for delusional is the
singing and guitar playing duo of Matt and Jason. delusional, however,
is an equal sum of all of its parts. Matt's innovative,
meandering leads and Jason's transcendent rhythms are
harnessed by Marty's steady rocking bass and Chisspa's
unbridled attack on drums. Rounding out the mêlée
is B Strange, dropping in keys, percussion – filling
in the extraneous noise. The result launches the sound
into increasingly sonic spaces and dimensions. The sound
leads to British comparisons, straddling the line between
rock, psychedelica, and pop. As far as inspiration goes,
it’s going to be as varied as there are five members,
but Radiohead, Sigur Ros, The Grateful Dead, Grandaddy
and Spiritualized are common favourites.
delusional released their first, full-length, self-titled
release in 2001. The disc was featured on Air Canada’s
enRoute FM, CBC Radio2’s New Music Canada, and most
recently, on Dave Bookman’s “Indie Hour”
on The Edge 102.1 FM. They also gained the top 10 spots
at Guelph University's CFRU and McMaster University’s
CFMU in Hamilton. The band received a tour grant from
FACTOR to showcase their music at NewMusicWest 2002 in
Vancouver, BC and has played over 100 shows across Southern
Ontario.
The band is currently writing and recording songs for
a five song EP entitled “Fear and Loathing in the
Human Race” due out in the fall of 2003, as well
as tracks for their sophomore CD, “Pharmacology”,
due out in early 2004. The new songs reflect delusional’s
developing performance style - a bit more aggressive and
challenging than the tracks on the debut release. They
credit this influence as a benefit from their live performance
experience. Songs are tighter and a little faster with
a positive audience response fueling the mayhem.
The goal of every delusional gig is to push beyond the
bullshit of daily life, leaving the mundane world behind
in a swirl of smoke. That goes for the fans as well as
the band. The band invites you to join them on their interstellar
journey in pursuit of the supersonic dream… |
