Taken from their forthcoming second album, Force Majeure, which is out on Heavenly Recordings on Friday 17th January 2025, Melbourne five-piece Delivery have today unveiled the record's latest single, ‘The New Alphabet’. With its playful melodies and scuzzy guitar riffs the track puts the listener into the shoes of ‘someone who thinks they’re topshit’ as it scutters towards its chaotic finale. Talking about the track, James from the band said: “Weirdly and unintentionally, The New Alphabet is something of a spiritual twin to ‘The Complex’ from our first album; both tracks come in at number six on the record, are built around wonky guitars over a slightly loosened groove, and both share a similar lyrical concept that I sometimes revert back to for Delivery. Which is, taking on the perspective of a character who thinks they’re topshit, when it’s glaringly obvious that they’re not. Not really sure which murky part of my subconscious thinks that’s a fun topic to write songs about, but I guess the idea of someone developing their own alphabet just to save face was too good to ignore. Good news is this song isn’t really aimed at anyone in particular, which also means I can take full credit for the legend move of describing yourself as a “force majeure” - would love to hear that one used in real life. In typical Delivery style, this track came together a bit like a jigsaw puzzle and there was a lot of rearranging to make it properly make sense. Luckily, once we landed on the unnecessary key-change/noise-guitar solo section, everything seemed to make sense.” Take a listen/watch for yourselves below.
