Brooklyn post-punks Crystal Stilts have unveiled a brand new single in the form of “Delirium Tremendous”.
The track is out today on Sacred Bones, the first sample of new music since last year’s Nature Noir.
“The song is about basically the fact that those types of unifying, numinous states are usually reached through a delirium of some kind,” singer Brad Hargett told Stereogum. I have this weird old book/pamphlet of chants and prayers, where there’s lots of repetition of whatever/whomever is being addressed. So it’s meant to be just like a chant or prayer. A formula.”
