Delicate Steve is the brainchild of New Jersey-based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Steve Marion.

As NPR has said, "Delicate Steve's music maintains the capacity to surprise...guitar showcases that don't shred, dance records that don't adhere to familiar beats and classic-rock throwbacks that fan out into world music, prog, reggae, surf-rock and more, with the propulsive jitteriness and sideways oddness of Ratatat or Dirty Projectors."

SPIN has called the music "a kaleidoscope of bouncy pan-African polyrhythms and swooping six-string melodies, like the Dirty Projectors with guitars instead of singers."

The band will open for psych rockers Tame Impala as they embark on a U.S. tour this fall in support of their latest release, 2012's Lonerism.

Delicate Steve will then play a late show at Mercury Lounge on November 20. Tickets for that performance are $12 and available at www.mercuryloungenyc.com.

The upcoming shows will feature material from Delicate Steve's two Luaka Bop releases, Positive Force (2012), which prompted Pitchfork to write, "Hear 'Positive Force'...and you might believe you'd just jacked into the heart of a secret world powered by raw joy;" and Wondervisions (2011). Delicate Steve will be releasing the follow up to Positive Force in early 2015.

Below you'll find the "Positive Force" bio, by Michael Azerrad ("Our Band Could Be Your Life"), along with an initial tour itinerary. For more information, visit www.delicatesteve.com.
