Delights Releases New Song “Hotel Bar”
Manchester-based indie-pop band Delights, consisting of Adam Maxwell (vocals), Ben Kirkland (bass), Ben Squires (guitar), Leo Willis (drums) and Cameron Stephenson (percussion), released a new song “Hotel Bar” on November 28, 2024.
The song is the fifth single off of their upcoming debut album “If Heaven Looks A Little Like This”, which is set to be released on January 17, 2025 via Modern Sky.
The track captures a night on tour at luxurious odds with the regular on-the-road lifestyle of Travelodge's and service station meals.
It was written by Adam Maxwell, Ben Kirkland, Ben Squires, Cameron Stephenson, and Leo Willis. Produced by Michael Smith.
The band frontman Adam Maxwell said of the song, “Our guitarist [Ben] Squires works at a spa and he gets a discount, so, in Bristol, we ended up staying in this really nice spa. We were walking around in slippers and white gowns, having the best time of our lives. We got back and headed to the hotel bar and ordered the most obnoxious, complicated drinks. It was just about the experience of all of us together.”- The debut album comprises 12 songs, produced by Michael Smith.
It is a record dedicated to the experience of being in a band. A spirit of unity and solidarity is the driving force behind the debut album.
Adam Maxwell said of the album, “I was quite conscious that, if we want it to stand our own test of time, I want to know where I was and where we were as a collective. So lyrically, it’s trying to explain that story of us doing this and having fun, but where we are right now – skint, working hard, trying to be in a band and do cool things that playing will allow us to do.” -
