video: Delta Spirit - Bushwick Blues on Jools Holland

this song...it kills me every time. Delta Spirit are one of a kind, and genuine as hell.



Delta Spirit - Flood [mp3]
from the Waits Room EP
"Flood" is layered in a way that explores the essence of Delta Spirit, though it's different from their previous songs. there was always this hidden softness, this fragile weaving of tales.
