ALT-pop outfit Delta Will have released Manic Pulse - the first single from their upcoming debut album.
Charles from the Toronto band told RealSoundsOK: "It's a song I wrote about a young man's dizzying journey through the triumphant highs and loathsome lows of a manic episode.
"Sonically, the track alternates between dark swelling verses and explosive, sparkling choruses of psych-pop bliss"
You can get the single at Bandcamp - or listen below - and find out more at facebook.com/deltawillmusic

Delta Will Q&A
Name of band:
Delta Will.
Where
are you from?
Outer space.
Who is in your band?
Charles Tilden's body and Lowell Whitty on drums.
How
would you describe yourselves?
A
space exploration mission and an homage to traditions of folk, blues and
alt-pop.
Who
are your main influences musically?
LEADBELLY, SON HOUSE, JELLY ROLL MORTON, O.V. WRIGHT, RAY CHARLES, NINA
SIMONE, BEATLES, DYLAN, VAN MORRISON, BOWIE, TALKING HEADS, RADIOHEAD, BJORK,
THE AVALANCHES, M. WARD, SUFJAN STEVENS, WILCO, BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE,
ETC.....
What
do you hope to achieve in music?
Delta Will hopes to translate his experiences on Earth into experiments
in sound, with words. Delta Will hopes to get a little better at this with each
try.
What
has been the highlight of your career so far, and why?
Writing and recording this new EP has been the most fulfilling musical
endeavour thus far. I felt as though I had now learned enough about humans and
their musical traditions to make a record as an honourary human, rather than as
an alien pretending to be human.
And
what’s the moment you want to forget?
All moments of life on my own planet.
If
you had to pick just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it
be and why?
I think "Game Change Parade" (from the first EP) is a good
introduction. It's a song about starting over from scratch. Musically, the
layers build in a manner that sheds light on Delta Will's approach to loop
performance.
Where
can we listen to it?
Where
can we find out more about your music?

Delta Will arrives from outer space
IT'S not often that RealSoundsOK gets an email from outer space, but one dropped into my inbox recently from an alien called Delta Will.
|
| Alien invasion... |
I'll let him explain why he's here while I decide which leader to take him to...
"Delta Will here. I’m a visitor from outer space who’s become fascinated with humans and their traditions of folk, blues and pop music. Charles Tilden has been kind enough to lend me his body so I can create my own musical experiments.
"I can see the world through his lens and have taken the opportunity to study life on Earth as much as I can. This latest batch of songs was recorded with producer Chris Stringer (Timber Timbre, Tokyo Police Club, Snowblink). The full EP arrives October 22nd.
"You can hear the first track ‘It All Glows’ at both my bandcamp (downloadable) and my soundcloud. Worlds Collide!

"My first recording on Earth was released on floppy disk and I was surprised to find out how quickly these objects had become obsolete. The newest recording is available on wav and mp3. I look forward to seeing how long before they become obsolete.
"Thank you for spending some time with me, as I spend it with you."
So there you have it - sounds from deep space. And if you want to find out whether this fella is little or green then visit www.facebook.com/deltawillmusic or www.twitter.com/deltawillmusic and keep an eye out for his forthcoming Q&A with RealSoundsOK.
