"IFUCKINGLOVEYOU", the first official release from
Big Black Delta, is now available to stream and download on SoundCloud. "IFUCKINGLOVEYOU"
is an ambient, electronic, industrial mash-up and the perfect teaser for a
forthcoming debut album due out later this year. "IFUCKINGLOVEYOU"
digital bundles, remixes, 7 inches and 12 inches will be available on July 9th.
Big Black Delta (the brainchild of former Mellowdrone member
Jonathan Bates) doesn't simply begin and end with the music - from the
explosive live show featuring dueling drummers (Mahsa Zargaran and Amy Wood), live vocals, dancing
and an orchestrated light show using visual elements of the bespoke album
artwork (created by Jonathan himself and creative director CasparNewbolt), this
project is an audio visual assault to the senses in the best possible way.
No stranger to pushing boundaries, LA based Bates was until
recently the driving force behind alt.rock favourites Mellowdrone, has been
heavily involved in M83's live and studio sound and has also worked with the
likes of White Sea among others.
After leaving Mellowdrone in 2010, Bates bought a laptop from
close friend Alessandro
Cortini (Nine Inch Nails, SONOIO) and began sound-designing and
circuit-bending. This musical re-discovery, combined with Bates' favourite
dinner table conversation, UFO folklore lead to the creation of Big Black
Delta.
In 2011 Jonathan posted a number of his original tracksas
free downloads on his official website. Due to overwhelming demand for the
tracks, he decided to form his own label; aptly named 'Masters Of Bates' so he
could put out his own music
Having supported M83 live on tour this year in the U.S., BBD
will open Summerfest for Welsh indie favourites Joy Formidable with additional
summer dates in the U.S. supporting M83 and Jane's Addiction. All dates are
