After years of doing it themselves, bassist Matt Dowling says, “the band now has the space to focus primarily on its artistic activities.” He adds, “we realized that [although] everything is out of our hands, we’re now in more capable hands” (Washington City Paper). In support of the LP thus far, the band has toured throughout the entire country this year and on both sides of fantastic SXSW performances. Deleted Scenes will continue to tour on the East Coast this spring, including their first home town show of the year at Comet Ping Pong on Friday, April 20th and a show supporting Free Energy in Durham, NC the following night. Their newest collection of songs originated in frontman Daniel Scheuerman‘s basement and was recorded at the Garden Center in Hockessin, DE, with Nick Krill (The Spinto Band) and Birdseed Shirt producer L. Skell. Young People’s Church of the Air mixes themes of family, love, death, and joy, incorporating studio sounds and home-recorded lo-fi noise. It’s an album that “seeks to transcend ugliness, both personal and aural and more often than not, it succeeds on both counts” (Pitchfork). Deleted Scenes has shared the stage with Cursive, Wild Nothing, Abe Vigoda, The Antlers, Tennis, Hospitality, and Matt and Kim among others, and has performed at SXSW, CMJ, and Pop Montreal.   Deleted Scenes Tour Dates   4/20 – Washington, DC – Comet Ping Pong# 4/21 – Durham, NC – Duke Coffeehouse* 5/12 – Charlottesville, VA – Tom Tom Founders Festival^#w/ The Caribbean, Cigarette *w/ Free Energy ^w/ Hospitality, The Walkmen, Josh Ritter

  Washington DC-based quartet Deletes Scenes have debuted “The Days of Adderall” with Prefix, a new single taken from their sophomore full-length, Young People’s Church of the Air. Building on the dark, heady feel of their championed 2009 debut, Birdseed Shirt, the new LP pushes the band’s rhythm section further, experimenting with 80s pop, R&B, surf rock, dark funk, and Go-Go. Deleted Scenes kick off a string of East coast dates today with Jukebox the Ghost and The Spinto Band, and will embark on a national tour with Chicago-based art-pop band, A Lull, in January. Their newest collection of songs originated in frontman Daniel Scheuerman’s basement taking on a live identity over the course of 300 tour dates. Recorded at the Garden Center in Hockessin, DE, with Nick Krill (The Spinto Band) and Birdseed Shirt producer L. Skell, the album mixes themes of family, love, death, and joy incorporating studio sounds and home-recorded lo-fi noise. Young People’s Church of the Air’s title was  fittingly taken from a 1930′s radio-church hymnal Scheuerman found in an old piano bench at the Garden Center, and evokes the elusive and sometimes illusory nature of hope. Deleted Scenes have shared the stage with Cursive, Wild Nothing, Abe Vigoda, Black Kids, The Antlers, Medications, and Matt and Kim among others, and have performed at SXSW, CMJ, and Pop Montreal.
