Delights

“The finely-crafted next-gen indie of Manchester’s Delights transcends their city’s rich musical legacy.” - The Line of Best Fit

With their debut album ‘If Heaven Looks A Little Like This’ set for release in January 2025, Manchester’s Delights are stepping into an electrifying new world of sound. Their first full-length record introduces a wide sonic palette that reflects their collective tastes through appreciation of legacy and their hometown forebears. Lead single ‘Two Times Over’, is driven forward by lurching, buzzsaw riffs and “party percussion”, tapping into indie sleaze masters like The Rapture, Hot Chip, and CSS, while the rest of the album sees vibrant nods to funk, soul, disco, psychedelia, classic rock, and stadium-sized indie-pop which the 5-piece have become known for.

Faced with the news that their former practice space was being turned into flats, the band loaded up the van with as much equipment as they could and ventured across the channel and into the French countryside. They rented a house in the small town of Flavacourt for 10 days, pressing record each morning when they woke up and not hitting stop until they went to sleep. These sessions formed the core of the album.

With their biggest headline tour to date in the wake of sold out shows at Manchester’s Canvas 1 and London’s Moth Club, the dizzying trajectory of this in-demand five-piece serves to etch their name in the scene as one of the country’s most essential up-and-comers.
