‘Bright Young Things’ (EP)
Record Label: Scruff of the Neck Records
Impact Date: March 16th 2015

“I’m not moving, it gets faster, moving slowly and walking backwards,” croons singer James Fitchford on ‘Regress’. Fortunately, the opposite couldn’t be more true. Whilst earlier releases from Delamere relished in an understated spacial awareness, their mammoth choruses somehow blowing them open even further, Bright Young Things leaves behind the shimmering guitar lines and hard-hitting percussion in favour of a sleeker, somewhat subtler sound. Almost.

Much like the band themselves, their debut EP is built around a confident exploration of dynamics; the trademark verses of eponymous lead single ‘Bright Young Things’ as subdued as ever, the choruses cathartic explosions of stadium-sized proportions. The EP also marks a definite step-up in confidence in the production department too (track 3 ‘All of This’ done in-house by drummer Will Mason), the polish of previous releases paradoxically stripped by the cataclysmic sci-fi sounds of the single’s conclusion. It might have been two years in the making, but it seems it was time well spent.

Having spent two years honing their sound, it was inevitable that murmurings of a debut EP would soon follow. And follow they have, the band now ready to unleash Bright Young Things on the world, turning heads with their infectious hybrid of sleek synth-pop and emotionally-charged indie. Having already earned support from such regional radio personalities as Rob Adcock (BBC Introducing Stoke) and Lucee Clarke (6towns Radio), Bright Young Things might very well be the release to push Delamere from the fringe, in to the mainstream.

Press for previous release ‘Headstrong':

“…Headstrong is a professional, technically smooth as silk, layered and intricate, yet there is a raw, emotive edge, providing veracity and an underlying darkness and yearning that always gets me.”
Arun Kendall, Backseat Mafia

“Indeed, whilst ‘Do You Want Me’ flirted with an understated synth, ‘Headstrong’ relishes in it, and as such it feels like the fully realised sound the band have been teasing us with.”
Dave Beech, Lounder Than War

Bright Young Things will be unleashed in March 2015, with a launch party at Manchester’s Night & Day Cafe on March 21st.

Tell me you don’t love me
Tell me that you’re cool with this
Tell me that you’re better off than before
Cuz right now I don’t remember what went wrong

Tell me you don’t love me
Tell me that it’s over now
Tell me that you’re happy with someone else
So I can kill the possibility of us

I’m not over you just yet
I’m not over you yet
I’m not over you but I don’t want you back
I’m not over you just yet
I can’t forget the problems that we had
I’m not over you but I don’t want you back

So tell me you don’t love me
Tell me that you’re moving on
Tell me that you hate the songs I write
So I can paint you as a villain in my mind

Tell me you don’t love me
Tell me that you never did
Tell me our relationship was a mess
I wanna move on from the idea of us

I’m not over you just yet
I’m not over you yet
I’m not over you but I don’t want you back
I’m not over you just yet
I can’t forget the problems that we had
I’m not over you but I don’t want you back

Will you set me free
Will you set me free
Will you set me free
Tell me you don’t love me 

I’m not over you just yet
I’m not over you yet
I’m not over you but I don’t want you back
I’m not over you just yet
I can’t forget the problems that we had
I’m not over you but I don’t want you back

I’m not crazy
I’m not being lazy
Something is broke in my mind

The summer’s gone
Nothing else has changed at all
I want to run
But I can’t get out of bed anymore

If you are not the only one
Why is moving on so hard
If you are not my love
What have I become

I’m not crazy
I’m not being lazy
Something is broke in my mind

I think I’m fine
I watch TV to fill my time
The Lakers are good
They’re the only thing  that keeps from thinking

I’m not crazy
I’m not being lazy
Something is broke in my mind
Don’t try to save me
I don’t need no baby
Just let me lay here tonight
Tonight and every night

Every time I look in the mirror
I’m seeing a face that I don’t remember
Every time it gets a bit clearer 
Did I bring this on myself with my pity
Every time I look in the mirror
I’m seeing a face that I don’t remember
Everytime, Everytime
I cry and I cry and I cry

I’m not crazy
I’m not being lazy
Something is broke in my mind
Don’t try to save me
I don’t need no baby
Just let me lay here tonight
Tonight and every night

I'm Not Crazy
