DELORENTOS return to set our hearts alight with the release of their new four-track EP, ‘Little Sparks’, on Friday November 18th. The first fruits of the band’s recent recording session with Mercury Music Prize-winning producer Rob Kirwan (Bell X1, PJ Harvey, Editors, U2), it features the songs ‘Did We Ever Really Try?’, ‘Hunting’, ‘1521’ and ‘Door Left Open’. The EP will be packaged with a full colour 40-page magazine edited by the band themselves and featuring the wisdom and art of a broad array of Irish artists, musicians, filmmakers and photographers.
Announcing the new EP Delos recently enthused: “It’s almost five years to the day we first recorded something as a band and released our first EP, ‘Leave It On’, so we decided it would be cool to release a new EP of new music before the album. Like everything else on the album however, we’ve tried to make the release interesting and special as possible, and so we’ve enlisted the help of some of our friends for the release.”
The follow-up to 2009’s ‘You Can Make Sound’, which is also to be titled ‘Little Sparks’, is due for release early in the new year. But before Delorentos’ third album hits the shelves in 2012 there is a new EP as well as the band’s first ever acoustic tour to whet our lips over.
“We think this is the best album we have ever done, so we want to take the time to get everything right,” Delorentos explained.
Delorentos release the ‘Little Sparks EP’ on DeloRecords on Friday November 18th. You can catch the band unplugged in John Daly’s, Mullingar on Wednesday November 23rd, Triskell Arts Centre, Cork on Thursday November 24th and Unitarian Church, Dublin on Friday November 25th.
