Delta Sleep will tour the US starting later this month (with support from Teen Suicide and Carpool Tunnel), followed by a UK co-headline tour with And So I Watch You From Afar and festival appearances in Italy and the UK. With a growing global following and a #1 Bandcamp Rock Chart hit, Blue Garden promises to solidify the band’s reputation as pioneers in their genre.

Like “listening to a soundtrack to some blissful utopian dream” as praised by Gold Flake Paint, Delta Sleep's latest work marks the band's heaviest record yet, blending dark themes with a glimmer of hope.

Recorded at Daft Studios in Belgium with producer Mark Roberts (Black Peaks, Toska, The Physics House Band), Blue Garden reflects a departure from previous quick studio sessions. Instead, the band embraced a collaborative approach, incorporating new instrumentation, electronic samples, and synths over a focused two-and-a-half-week period.

The album's lyrical content addresses themes of despair and resilience amidst global crises, particularly underscored by the current situation in Palestine. Yüceil describes the album as a response to the pervasive sense of helplessness and the struggle to find personal solace amid widespread turmoil.

“It feels like there’s a grey cloud over everything that’s always in the back of your mind. There’s this thing happening that’s not right and it’s clouding any sense of joy or happiness and yet we still have to carry on with our normal lives,” says frontman Devin Yüceil. “It’s about not knowing what to do and not knowing how to talk about it.”

"The polarity between shadows and light play a big part in the themes for this album, both in the lyrics and the music. Musically speaking this feels like our heaviest / darkest album to date, but in other instances it could be our most melodic, light and poppy album. Lyrically the album is very introspective, processing the heaviness and pressures of the world. A mood that is heavily influenced by the ongoing brutal, and seemingly never ending slaughter of the Palestinian people by Israeli forces — casting a shadow of depression, terror and helplessness over the world of today."


Musically, Blue Garden traverses a landscape of dark and light, with influences from punk, indie, and electronic genres.

"Being a filmmaker / cinematographer I always have to be very aware of shadows and light. Photography is about balancing the interplay between light and dark, and through that balance you can evoke a lot of different emotions," notes Yüceil. "Particularly, the absence of light can generate a lot of mood and depth and contrast to an image. I wanted to explore that in a lyrical sense, trying to transpose those primarily visual themes onto real life, and to look at how they might be relatable within the world of politics, love, mental health, interpersonal relationships, etc."

Tracks like the first single, “Figure In The Dark,” and “Sunchaser” showcase the band's evolution, combining intricate rhythms and melodies to push their sound into new territories. The album’s visual elements, including artwork by Daniele Castellano and a companion video for the track “Dawn,” deepen its thematic impact.
