What do you do when months of planning and preparation gets destroyed by a global pandemic? Well if you’re Delta Sleep, you take the project you were working on and turn into a celebration - a celebration of the places you’ve been lucky enough to visit and serve notice that you’ll be back when the world allows. The result is Soft Sounds - a extra special collection of 10 stripped back tracks/videos recorded while touring. Filmed over the course of four years around the world: in Paris, Tokyo, Turkey, Brooklyn, Dallas, Texas and Los Angeles, it features intimate unplugged performances of songs taken from their back catalogue. Dev from the band says “The sessions are a little rough around the edges, we recorded them on the fly and in between having to drive to the next show, but imperfections have a charm and this series of musical postcards will hopefully transport you to the exact time and place they were captured.” Soft Sounds saw a stripped-down video (and track on streaming services) posted every Thursday through June/July 2020, culminating in an exclusive new song recorded from the bands homes in Brighton and Frome during quarantine. The end result was ten tracks pressed onto vinyl, alongside a set of hand-numbered prints that you could only pre-order between 21st May and the 31st July.
