Crimes of Passion delivers a new electronic dance single, "Delirium," a fusion of colorful indie, new wave, and '90s house. The producer, singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Robert Ruby releases "Delirium," a love letter to movement.
The song draws directly from Balearic Beat, the sound that flooded Ibiza clubs and warehouses in the late 1980s and early '90s. It captures that unworried, enchanting energy but adds a new spin for listeners now. The song progresses gradually, building a greater soundscape that's both new and familiar. Its indietronica sides make it feel contemporary, and its new wave strands run melodic. Its insistent pulse and 90s house undertone give the song its rhythmic source, and that precise groove is both contemporary and thoughtful.
"Delirium" was made over the past few years at a home studio and has an intimate, personal feel. There's a warm feel to the production, as if it were made with care and not by formula. Crimes of Passion wants to create a sound that sounds like home and like everywhere else, and that aim is very apparent.
The song requires both rhythm and atmosphere to function. This record is as good on a quiet night of thought or on the release of a busy dance floor. There's a tension here between the past and future, thinking and celebrating. This release urges Crimes of Passion to embrace the cyclical nature of electronic music, as sounds return, transformed and heavily laden with significance. "Delirium" honors the past while boldly stepping into the now.
