Into the Wide is receiving widespread critical acclaim:

"An unabashed rock record-jagged and sonically huge."-Esquire
"Cinematic."-Entertainment Weekly
"Sleek metropolitan roots rock."-Stereogum

"Over the years, Delta Spirit has changed their tune, but Into the Wide demonstrates their most determined effort yet. A rousing, riveting spectacle of an album, it creates an indelible impression."-Relix
"Into the Wide is handily one of the freshest and most exciting folk rock records of the 2010s."
-Baeble Music

To further celebrate the release Delta Spirit recently performed on "CBS This Morning: Saturday" and has confirmed anOctober 2 appearance on "The Late Show with David Letterman." The band is touring extensively including three headlining dates each in New York City and Los Angeles. See below for details.

Into the Wide was born in a windowless Brooklyn studio the band built and subsequently rebuilt after Hurricane Sandy. They spent more than a year writing together, resulting in a record Esquire says "may have yielded some of the most stunning songs of their career to date. Into the Wide brings about some of the hard, sinister truths explored on their earlier effort History from Below while channeling some of the invigoration Delta Spirit provided, and the urban landscape they sought out had a lot to do with that." When it came time to record, the band relocated to Maze Studios in Atlanta and teamed up with producer Ben Allen (Animal Collective, Deerhunter), who helped breathe new life and brighter energy into the songs while still capturing the distinctive results of their writing space in New York.

Formed in 2005, Delta Spirit is Matt Vasquez (vocals, guitar), Will Mclaren (guitar), Jon Jameson (bass), Brandon Young (drums) and Kelly Winrich (multi-instrumentalist, vocals). The critically acclaimed band has had numerous television performances including "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," "Conan," "Last Call with Carson Daly" and "Later with Jools Holland," as well as relentless touring and festival appearances worldwide including Coachella, Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo among many others. Their 2012 self-titled release charted #1 on Billboard's Heatseekers and was praised byRolling Stone for its "broader sonic palette." In 2013 the band had an original track titled "Running" featured on AMC's hit series "Walking Dead." Into the Wide is the band's fourth LP and first for Dualtone.
