SUMMARY:Hermetic Delight + Zach Thompson
DESCRIPTION:Hermetic Delight: There are songs that stand tall and others m
 ade to fall. This band\, born between Strasbourg and Ankara\, moves throug
 h these shifts with no set instructions. From the very start\, their sound
  has drifted somewhere between Sub Pop’s jagged edges and 4AD’s shimme
 ring mirages. Early on\, they were overflowing\, caught between shoegaze a
 nd noise (Heartbeat\, 2012\; To The Grave To The Rave\, 2013). Vow (2016) 
 tightened the lines with a rawer live record. In 2020\, F.A. Cult\, produc
 ed by Charles Rowell (Crocodiles)\, marked a turning point: the pop sensib
 ility stepped forward\, the air felt wider\, yet the tension never left.To
 day\, you can hear their knack for holding a motif to obsession while ever
 ything else shifts around it. Zeynep Kaya’s voice wraps and carries\, st
 retching or pulling tight as each song unfolds. Delphine Padilla’s drumm
 ing brings a motorik drive where every strike feels choreographed. Atef Ao
 uadhi makes guitars and bass converse—sometimes sharp\, sometimes clear—
 opening space and guiding each track. Synths flare or withdraw\, unsettlin
 g or lighting up the melodies.Born in Yorkshire and now based in South-Eas
 t London\, Zach Thompson draws from the bardic and balladeer traditions of
  the British and Irish isles\, filtering influences as varied as Dada poet
 ry\, Biblical myth\, nursery rhymes\, newspaper columns and everyday idiom
 s into a singular songwriting voice. Following years of local residencies 
 and live performances\, Thompson released his debut EP ‘Algebra Parable’
  last year\, recorded live with a nine-piece band at Fish Factory Studios 
 in London. Its follow-up\, ‘On Platt’s Eyot’\, expanded his sound fu
 rther\, moving between surreal imagery\, social commentary and sprawling o
 rchestral arrangements\, cementing his reputation as one of the most disti
 nctive new voices in contemporary folk music.
