After last years bright, and immensely enjoyable, EP Ayrton Senna, Delorean have placed themselves firmly in the forefront of bands joining in on the Italo-electric pop scene; Jesus, what a descriptor. But nevermind the long-winded, deconstructionist labels, Delorean make great pop music, derived from the same dance/rock hybridization as bands like Prinzhorn Dance School and The Juan Maclean. The beats, synths and other classic house/electro qualifiers give these tracks a grounding in traditional dance music, which seems to be lacking in bands of similar standing. And as much as we're making the case for their inclusion within the dance music heriarchy, Delorean spend just as much of their time invested in those small moments that mark the best of pop music royalty. Tracks like "Grow" and "Infinite Desert" show the finesse with which Delorean has managed to combine the poppier side of dance music with the rave culture so thoroughly attributed to it. And, as one would hope, on the strength of Ayrton Senna, Subiza progresses further into the sound which that EP only hinted at. Delorean have a made a-dare I say-fun album that pulls together the symbiotic nature of dance and pop and washes them together to create a vivid portrait of a band at the height of its' creative powers.
