Edinburgh-based four-piece Delighted Peoples mix a wide range of influences to produce a leftfield, lo-fi and emotionally impactful musical view of the world as they see it. Celebrating genre free-flow, they expose the sentimental in the rage and the rage in the sentimental.
Rising from a multitude of different creative backgrounds and a history of working together in various incarnations, Delighted Peoples started as a duo of loop pedalists based on soulful vocals and electric guitar, inspired to demystify the lyrically alive. Through a mutual appreciation and affinity of ideas they were joined by a rapper and drum machinist and as a four-piece began crafting a sound.
Over a short period of time they have already made a mark on their local scene, with support slots for internationally-esteemed acts such as Homeboy Sandman, Abdominal, Babar Luck and Strangelove; well-recieved sets at festivals such as Kelburn Garden Party and Audio Soup; and headlining locally-established nights by Too Much Fun Club and Nu Fire.
Delighted Peoples have self-produced and self-released a debut single and video for their song ‘In Heaven’. They will be releasing their second single/video this winter with a debut E.P scheduled for early 2016 and tour to follow.
