Download the first taste of the New York pop band’s sophomore album, Infomaniac.
SPIN.com Exclusive: Debut new track off of upcoming LP, Infomaniac: “I Think I’m Getting Older”
“[Deleted Scenes] has hit its stride in a major way on debut album “Birdseed Shirt.” It’s an album of smart, slippery and varied indie rock songs, but it never feels like the band is forcing things just for the sake of being different. Some songs have the nervous energy of early Talking Heads, while others succeed thanks to intricate subtleties that show an obsessive attention to detail. Don’t get too attached to any of those sounds, though. Scheuerman has no interest in doing the same thing twice.”
-Dave Malitz, Washington Post
“Birdseed Shirt, the debut LP from Deleted Scenes, is a creative and emotional album of soaring, hook-laden highs and more tempered lows, with each mood skillfully executed and full of rich imagery and metaphors. Taking the odd title from a Jonathan Safran Foer novel, the duo from Brooklyn and Washington, DC make playfully unpredictable songs that veer in unexpected directions while remaining completely infectious.”
-NPR.org
“Not since the days of Fugazi and Discord Records has a D.C. band made such a stir on the national music circuit.”
-Washington Post Express
“Deleted Scenes’ recent album, Birdseed Shirt, often sounds as if it’s been gently glazed with cold medication, but that doesn’t mean it’s creatively sluggish. All that fine-tuned, morose reverb and space opens up on a band that has enough subtle craft to explore everything from its mopey side (“Get Your Shit Together For The Holidays”) to psych-rock aggression (“Mortal Sin”).”
