Big Black Delta's self-titled album created huge hype last year, even having CMJ and Pitchfork noting him on their Artist to Watch lists. Whether you've read the publicity or not, you can tell that Jonathon Bates is an artist with a unique, innovative vision just from hearing the music yourself. The latest release is a musical odyssey that catapults you into space and keeps you floating through its experimental style incorporating dark, synthy electronica with danceable indie pop overtones.
