Album Review: What Is There by Delta Spirit

Returning after a six-year hiatus that saw Delta Spirit splinter into a profusion of musical side projects and personal endeavors, What Is There sees the west coast-bred indie rockers deliver a spirited collection of songs that, for the most part, is in sync with the anthemic electro-pop of 2014's Into the Wide. Commencing with "The Pressure," a kinetic slab of sleek, inward-looking modern rock that flirts with Killers-esque grandiosity, the sturdy ten-track set is a pop album above all else, but still honors the group's roots music beginnings. Lead single "How Bout It" flirts with blues and gospel, and makes excellent use of Matthew Logan Vasquez's expressive voice, as do the heartfelt ballads "Can You Ever Forgive Me?" and "Just the Same," both of which are built largely on a chassis of folk, country, and Americana.
