We live in an unmanageable world, with unrealistic expectations of ourselves and each other.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe are both the hero and villain of our own story. While our ego is trying to keep us the former, unbeknownst to us everyone around is possibly experiencing the latter. It\u2019s been over a year since I wrote this song, and so much has obviously changed for all of us since then. I can\u2019t help but laugh\/cringe when I hear the lyric &#8216;the masks we made are wearing thin&#8217;. Now in this time of COVID-19, BLM, and this upcoming election, I hope I can learn to share my convictions and experiences with those who disagree with me with the same love and grace that I am learning to offer myself\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2018The Pressure\u2019 follows the release of \u2018It Ain\u2019t Easy\u2019 and \u2018Home Again\u2019, the latest tracks to be taken from Delta Spirit\u2019s first album in six years, What Is There. The 10-song set was produced by the band and mixed by Tchad Blake (U2, Black Keys).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">They previously shared the first track from the album \u2018How Bout It\u2019, which came with a powerful, cinematic video, also directed by Michael Parks Randa, and shot during the Covid-19 pandemic at over 30 locations throughout North America.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Their New West Records debut follows their acclaimed 2014 studio album Into The Wide. Of the new album, Uncut said \u201cthe SoCal quintet return with another generous serving of sparklingly cinematic guitar rock\u2026 a full-throttle celebration of the unifying power of music.\u201d What Is There was recorded at Sonic Ranch outside of El Paso, TX and is dedicated to the memory of their friend and musical inspiration, Richard Swift.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Formed in Southern California in 2005, Delta Spirit took an extended break after supporting their acclaimed effort Into The Wide.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIn 2015, we were getting along like family gets along,\u201d admits Vasquez. \u201cThat means sometimes we didn\u2019t like each other too much. We were just growing apart. When we took a break and the band stopped, the friendships got an opportunity to come back.\u201d He offers, \u201cPersonality-wise, our band is five contrarians trying to agree on an idea. When your similarity is that you\u2019re contrarian, it\u2019s tough. But when things work out, it\u2019s incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Over the past six years, Vasquez has released and toured behind three celebrated solo albums, multi-instrumentalist Kelly Winrich launched a career as a producer, while bassist Jonathan Jameson, guitarist Will McLaren, and drummer Brandon Young collaborated and toured with Sam Outlaw, Mikky Ekko, the Los Angeles band Muna, among others. The band members now call Manhattan, Brooklyn, Los Angeles, Austin, and Montreal home, and reconvened in Brooklyn for a jam session in 2018. Vasquez says, \u201cWhen we played together, we found the same joy and took it deeper.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Delta Spirit not only return, but move forward together on What Is There. They wrote and recorded from a new place informed by maturity gained by their journey, break, and reunion. They locked into the process together and eventually found the sweet spot where they were all on the same page. Vasquez says, \u201cI\u2019m really proud of our body of work, but especially proud of where everybody has gotten to now. I have a lot of hope for us. I\u2019m grateful for everyone in this band. There\u2019s a lot of raw honesty in the music. It\u2019s a record for right now, instead of pandering to the past. It\u2019s the next step.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As much as &#8216;What Is There&#8217; reflects their journey thus far, it also ushers them into new territory as both musicians and, most importantly, friends.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"64818\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2020\/09\/delta-spirit-release-new-single-the-pressure\/delta-spirit\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/delta-spirit.jpg?fit=1200%2C960&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1200,960\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"delta spirit\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/delta-spirit.jpg?fit=640%2C512&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-64818\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/delta-spirit.jpg?resize=640%2C512&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/delta-spirit.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/delta-spirit.jpg?resize=300%2C240&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/delta-spirit.jpg?resize=1024%2C819&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/delta-spirit.jpg?resize=768%2C614&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/delta-spirit.jpg?resize=400%2C320&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;What Is There&#8217; will be available across digital platforms, on compact disc, and standard black vinyl.
