Subiza
Album | Delorean
Summer 2010's go-to party record.
Spanish pop act Delorean set music blogs aflutter with the release of their 2009 EP Ayrton Senna before disappearing for a year to put the finishing touches on a proper full-length. That album, the breezy Subiza, is a welcome blast of fresh air at a time when the indie-rock landscape is so heavily populated with overly serious white dudes. Subiza is essentially a modernized take on the piano-friendly happy house music of the early 90’s, a kind of musical distillation of two decades of club culture shot through with weird vocal flourishes and eerie soundscapes reminiscent of The Tough Alliance or Panda Bear. The nine album tracks suffer from a sonic sameness, but the gleefully uptempo and rave-like vibes of “Stay Close” and “Simple Graces” seamlessly bridge the gap between the cultures of libidinous dance music and uptight indie rock. Count on Subiza to be the go-to party record of the summer.
