With a sound that sits impatiently between The Velvet Underground and European techno, The Delta Fiasco have crafted an audio-visual ‘happening’ of subversive, avant-garde allure. With catchy hooks, haunting vocals and synchronised bleeps the Liverpool outfit bring a whole new darkness to the current de rigueur for smiley-faced nu-rave. However don’t expect a depressive sound.
