Deliberate [12" vinyl EP out now]

Basic Demographics EP out now on Signatura Recordings
Soundtracking cities and suburbs in an ongoing electronic narrative. Lyrical, electronic, cinematic, Deliberate.
"Delightfully Kraftwerk- and 1980s-influenced electronica. Up to three keyboards and laptop power the synthesised parts. Light percussive tickles, programmed bleeps, deafening organ, budum budum keyboards, space squeals and shimmering dynamic harmonics. Live drums, when present, focus on single cymbal and snare tapping. Vocals switch from bright female melodic twisting [to] dark male poetry that is almost Teutonic. Lyrics seem cleverly inventive ... A fine balance between early Human League and John Foxx ... Deliberate are making electronica as it has not been made for some time, no guitars, no samples of guitars, and no ecstasy. Refreshing. Thoughtful. Waywardly melodic. Metamatic."
Opposition T webzine live review
"Kraftwerk are the ghost in Deliberate’s shell and it’s the rumble of the Autobahn in the background that serves as suitable setting for a reanimation of a clinically executed, deftly paced ep of icy, inhuman sounds. Like a stripped and slowed down Depeche Mode, songs like 'Sloanestruck' and 'Gavin has some problems' crawl across the speaker in a frigid half-light, exuding a similar air to Black Box Recorder tunes with the deadpan delivery of main man Christopher."
The Brighton Source
"Their pop is characterised by its melodic clarity and smart use of space. 'Sloanestruck' weaves together sly references to Dadaism and Roxy Music over a shuddering stripped-down rhythm. On 'I could be persuaded', perfect vocals contrast with the ambiguous lyric and stop-start bassline."
