- Check out the BAND page..
Dublin-based 4-piece Delorentos released two albums; The stunning You Can Make Sound in October 2009, and their critically & commercially acclaimed debut album, In Love With Detail, in April 2007.
The band came together in the usual fashion... inspired by boredom, creative energy & a passion for music- obvious reference points are Pixies, The Cure, The Clash & Arcade Fire; more oblique influences slide in from most genres of music & virtually every decade from the 50's on. Over a period of time that saw others attempt to tie down a description of their sound, they holed up in the wilds of Portrane, Co Dublin & concentrated on writing songs, pure & simple. They had no interest in the frills & fripperies or the empty bombast that occupy other bands; for them it has always been about 4 people communing to harness honest emotion, fashion melodic hooks, & roll out infectious rhythms.

- "'In Love with Detail' is the sound of a band realising their potential. Its the first truly great Irish album of 2007 and the finest debut from a homegrown act in years." Hot Press (9 out of 10 review) // "Cracking Irish debut albums such as 'In Love With Detail' are rarer on the ground than you might think......one of the best Irish debut albums of 2007" Jim Carroll, Irish Times // 'In terms of first-times Irish releases, its STUNNING........should make Delorentos massive and not just in Ireland' Star Sunday // 'In love with Delorentos... their brilliant debut is st to be the sound of the summer' In Dublin // 'Crucially their rising profile has been accompanied by a flowering of talent.....Delorentos are set to cause a huge commotion' Sunday Times // "Fuzzy guitar lines, duel vocals, infectious melodies... spiky, tight, indie punk." NME //
