Synopsis

Product Description

DeLeon plays 15th-Century Spanish indie-rock infused with the deeply mysterious and entrancing cadences of the Sephardic Jewish tradition. Their music, birthed in Spain before the Inquisition and raised in pre-WWII Italy, has finally reached maturity in modern-day Brooklyn. DeLeon's sound evokes references to Caf Tacuba, Animal Collective, and Talking Heads. The band has performed with Balkan Beat Box, Dengue Fever, Los Campesinos, and Ozomatli.

CD Reviews

Magical... A Gem and I don't say that lightly!

"I'd never heard of Deleon before the Gogol Bordello show last night in Omaha NE. (07/21/09)

I stopped counting the genres blended into their sound, but I identified Surf, traditional spanish, shepardic jew, jazz (esp. Davis), fusion, acid rock, some spanish subgenres like ranchera... and even a bit of country in some of the 3-way vocal harmonies.

Live is indescribable, but trust me when I say that the album DOES THE LIVE SHOW JUSTICE. It's genre bending, leans on the rock side of things and will both make you dance as well as meditate. There's a little more in the disc as some techno and other electronic influences come forward a little more.

The album opener is both mysterious and sensual. The first song is a central thesis of their sound giving you a taste of everything the album has to offer. Download just the first two tracks if you're not sure, and if you like those, the whole album is a mix of these two songs.

Absolutely masterful. For fans of world music and I'd even say ANY kind of progressive rock... or any of the genres mentioned.

I try to make myself find flaws in everything.

Nothing.

Zero. Zilch. Wouldn't change a thing.

"I recently saw DeLeon in San Francisco and was blown away. They create the most amazing sounds using an incredible variety of styles. If you haven't listened to them yet or bought this CD give them a try! You will thoroughly enjoy them! I can't wait for them to record their next album."
