_“Combines math rock, indie pop, and emo in a way that sounds kinda like Minus The
Bear jamming with The Progress, and they make it feel both nostalgia-inducing and
fresh.”- **Brooklynvegan**_

**Delta Sleep**, renowned for their innovative sound and poignant lyrics, have unveiled
the music video for the single “Figure In The Dark.”

**Watch the video here:** [https://youtu.be/K8VSY-_ChCc](https://email.cloud.secureclick.net/c/6813?id=26797007.68944.1.20d2204221ae9684cebcf3520f76824b)

The clip was directed by the band’s singer and guitarist, **Devin Yüceil**, who 
is an accomplished filmmaker and Emmy Award nominee. Yüceil says, _“Expanding on
themes from the song about escapism while facing the darkness of the world. Lane,
our protagonist, is paralysed by his dissociation and unable to engage with the 
world around him. The anxiety reaches a boiling point, and Lane has no choice but
to face his own demons._

_“The video was shot on a day off from tour, in the countryside of West Virginia
and it involved renting a hand cranked fork lift from a local hardware store.”_

The UK band’s recently announced fourth studio album, _Blue Garden_, will be released
on October 11 through the band’s own imprint **Sofa Boy Records** in partnership
with **Wax Bodega**.

Touching on the track, Yüceil says, _“This one is loosely based on the film The 
Neverending Story. It is also about finding your place in a world where people live
in silence, and are afraid to speak out for what is right.”_

Recorded at Daft Studios in Belgium with producer **Mark Roberts** (Black Peaks,
Toska, The Physics House Band), _Blue Garden_ reflects a departure from previous
quick studio sessions. Instead, the band embraced a collaborative approach, incorporating
new instrumentation, electronic samples, and synths over a focused two-and-a-half-
week period.

The album’s lyrical content addresses themes of despair and resilience amidst global
crises, particularly underscored by the current situation in Palestine. Yüceil describes
the album as a response to the pervasive sense of helplessness and the struggle 
to find personal solace amid widespread turmoil.

_“It feels like there’s a grey cloud over everything that’s always in the back of
your mind. There’s this thing happening that’s not right and it’s clouding any sense
of joy or happiness and yet we still have to carry on with our normal lives,”_ says
Yüceil. _“It’s about not knowing what to do and not knowing how to talk about it.”_

_“The polarity between shadows and light play a big part in the themes for this 
album, both in the lyrics and the music. Musically speaking this feels like our 
heaviest / darkest album to date, but in other instances it could be our most melodic,
light and poppy album. Lyrically the album is very introspective, processing the
heaviness and pressures of the world. A mood that is heavily influenced by the ongoing
brutal, and seemingly never ending slaughter of the Palestinian people by Israeli
forces — casting a shadow of depression, terror and helplessness over the world 
of today.”_

Musically, _Blue Garden_ traverses a landscape of dark and light, with influences
from punk, indie, and electronic genres.

_“Being a filmmaker / cinematographer I always have to be very aware of shadows 
and light. Photography is about balancing the interplay between light and dark, 
and through that balance you can evoke a lot of different emotions,”_ notes Yüceil._“
Particularly, the absence of light can generate a lot of mood and depth and contrast
to an image. I wanted to explore that in a lyrical sense, trying to transpose those
primarily visual themes onto real life, and to look at how they might be relatable
within the world of politics, love, mental health, interpersonal relationships, 
etc.”_

Tracks like “Sunchaser” showcase the band’s evolution, combining intricate rhythms
and melodies to push their sound into new territories. The album’s visual elements,
including artwork by **Daniele Castellano** and a companion video for the track “
Dawn,” deepen its thematic impact.

Delta Sleep, known for their dynamic live performances and critical acclaim, will
tour the US in October, followed by a UK co-headline tour with And So I Watch You
From Afar and festival appearances in Italy and the UK. With a growing global following
and a #1 Bandcamp Rock Chart hit, _Blue Garden_ promises to solidify the band’s 
reputation as pioneers in their genre.
