Just listened to Subiza, the latest Delorean album, for the first time, and it's pretty enjoyable, if you're willing to overlook how much it sounds like Panda Bear's Person Pitch. The similarities really are striking, especially when you consider that Delorean's self-titled debut record was essentially run of the mill indie pop, and what followed from them was much more dance-orientated material. Either they possess the chameleonic traits necessary to constantly evolve their sound from album to album, or their earlier releases made them faintly embarrassed, and they realised that a drastic reinvention was required. It's a successful change, whichever way you look at it, and whilst it certainly doesn't reach the heights of Person Pitch, it does belong alongside illustrious company.
