Peep This: Delafaye “West Coast Vibes”
Delafaye is new to me, but his voice immediately captured me. This particular live take of his tune, West Coast Vibes, was filmed it at the Air Devils Inn in Louisville, Kentucky, where Andrew is from. The tune, off of his new EP Highlands (set for release on July 7th through London based record label Street Mission Records) has a groove to it. The acoustic guitar line that kicks the tune off and immediately pushes into his semi-whispy vocal. A bit scratched and hardened, but sensitive all the while. Dreamlike in a way, but the reality of the acoustic instruments and live performance anchor it all down.
He is endearing in a way. There a bits of folk for sure (in this performance), but has also been described as ‘exploring new musical dimensions, with a new psychedelic edge‘ on this latest project, which makes me want to dive in even further. And dive deep we shall…and you can too. Delafaye is set to release the new EP Highlands on July 7th
