We have been fans of San Diego’s Delta Spirit (and particularly their live shows), but were supremely off-put by lead-singer Matt Vasquez’s bizarre, soliloquy-riddled rantings during his solo portion of Middle Brother’s last show at Soho.  We may need to get over it.  The band has a new eponymous album out, and appeared on The Jimmy Kimmel Show last night to perform the stellar California (we like the lyrical homage to Built to Spill’s seminal album, Keep It Like a Secret) and aggressive Tear It Up off the new album.  Check ’em out below and in particular Will McLaren’s guitar playing.  And go HERE to stream the new album.
