Think a cross between Vampire Weekend meets Animal Collective.

Big Black Delta – Side Of The Road
ELO meets Presets is what comes to mind with the sound of Big Black Delta. The harmonies of ELO drenched over a pulsing juggernaut of sound reminiscent of the Preset. All-in-all, a great combo.
Side Of The Road by Big Black Delta
Another solid track from Big Black Delta is “Into The Night”:
Hayden James – Permission To Love
A big band for me growing up was Art of Noise. I loved their 12″ singles. I would consistently play them when I was young, so anything that sounds to my ears as an ode to Art of Noise, be it even a small little sample, is enough to catch my ears. Which is case in point from this track from Hayden James. It’s the vocal maniuplation of the hook, “I give permission to love” that makes me happy. Simple, yes, but it’s what I like.
