On their debut album, Manchester’s Delights are stepping into an electrifying new world of sound. The record introduces a wider sonic palette that reflects their collective tastes through an appreciation of legacy and their hometown forebears, with vibrant nods to funk, soul, disco, psychedelia, classic rock, and stadium-sized indie-pop.
Frontman Adam Maxwell explains:
“When we got to the studio, we were really conscious about making the most of the time we had there. So being able to hash out everything before we got there, but leaving room to experiment in the studio, was massive. I was quite conscious that, if we want it to stand our own test of time, I want to know where I was and where we were as a collective. So lyrically, it’s trying to explain that story of us doing this and having fun, but where we are right now – skint, working hard, trying to be in a band and do cool things that playing will allow us to do.”
Guitarist Ben Squires says: “When we started out, we were just a typical indie band. We’ve tried to break away from that a little bit to not just be straight indie.”
“This is the only moment you have your debut album. So [you can] step outside your comfort zone and experiment.” Drummer Leo Willis adds.
Of the song, the band said: “Lyrically, the song centres around ideas of curiosity, innocence and mystique. It also underlines the explorative nature of where we are as a band, from a writing perspective, but from a personal perspective too.”
