Our New album Little Sparks is out Now!

You can get it in all good record stores in Ireland, online at iTunes here and in physical worldwide from tower records here.

We’re doing some creative things with the release: Tonight we play an ONLINE streamed launch gig and it’s open to everyone! from 9pm click on our facebook page to watch it streamed live.

Also; over the next three weekends we’re going to be opening up Pop-Up shops in vacant premises in our cities and bringing them to life for the day. As well as selling our album, we’ll play live performances, show people the instruments and how to play them, and just generally try to bring a bit of fun and colour to an otherwise empty space. We dunno how its all going to unfold yet, but that’s half the adventure! The first two are this Saturday 28th on 6 Opera Lane, off Patrick St, Cork; and this Sunday 29th on Fairhill St, Off Dominick St, beside Monroe’s & the Roisin Dubh, Galway.

Come down, bring your friends and family and have some fun…

Anyway, Little Sparks is now available!

thanks for reading and see you soon!

We’re very very proud to be able to share this with you, it’s been two and half years in the making and we’re delighted with it! (Artwork designed by the very talented M&E). Here are some lovely quotes from the early reviews:

“Full of brave, bracing and emotionally direct songs, it’s the sound of a band who have found their musical and lyrical groove.”
Jim Carroll, Irish Times

“Little Sparks is not only an album which is Delorentos’ best work to date, but one of the finest Irish releases of recent times.”
Entertainment.ie 

“An early bid for Irish album of the year… Little sparks is the sound of a group striving to write the flab-free, solid-gold pop record of their lives, mission accomplished.”
Hotpress 

“Is it too early to start talking about the best Irish album of the year? Little Sparks is a fantastic record and deserves every ounce of the exposure that looks to be coming it’s way.”
Metro 

“The sound is more ambitious; bigger and bolder… Some of the more tender songs on the album show just have much Delorentos have matured as songwriters. Wonderful.”
