Washington, DC art rockers Deleted Scenes will release "Young People's Church of the Air" on Park The Van Records.
Washington DC art-rockers Deleted Scenes has teamed up with Park The Van Records for the release of their genre-tweaking, sophomore full-length, “Young People’s Church of the Air,” that will include special bonus tracks and remixes. After years of doing it themselves, bassist Matt Dowling says, “the band now has the space to focus primarily on its artistic activities.” He adds, “we realized that [although] everything is out of our hands, we’re now in more capable hands.”
Deleted Scenes will continue to tour on the East Coast this spring, including their first home town show of the year at Comet Ping Pong on Friday, April 20 and a show supporting Free Energy in Durham, NC the following night.
Their newest collection of songs originated in frontman Daniel Scheuerman’s basement and was recorded at the Garden Center in Hockessin, DE, with Nick Krill (The Spinto Band)and Birdseed Shirt producer L. Skell. “Young People’s Church of the Air” mixes themes of family, love, death, and joy, incorporating studio sounds and home-recorded lo-fi noise. It’s an album that Pitchfork.com says “seeks to transcend ugliness, both personal and aural and more often than not, it succeeds on both counts.”
