CloseUp // Track Of The Month #14 - DELIGHTS - ‘Sweet Spot’

Not so long until we take over Colours Hoxton on May 20th & 21st for 2023’s edition of CloseUp Festival. Our biggest yearly event, we welcome 16+ live acts/DJ’s to central LDN to showcase the best in what CloseUp has to offer. Our When The Horn Blows CUF centred TOTM comes from Delights, in the shape of latest cut Sweet Spot.

The Manchester honed quintet have been doing things differently, touring relentlessly, with supports, headline runs, and festivals nationwide across the last 12 months. Sweet Spot is synonymous with what makes Delights different, Parcels come Stereophonics infused, the dreamy new single is effortlessly catchy. In what feels like yet another step for the band, Sweet Spot nods to the 80’s era that evidently influences them so much.

Don’t miss Delights on the Sunday of CloseUp Festival 2023 at London’s Colours, May 21st. Tickets available now.

Listen now, and see you next month! CloseUp HQ x
