Official word here:

The Delgados, influential figures in Glasgow's independent music scene for over 10 years, have announced that they are to amicably disband. The reason has been put down to the departure of their bass player Stewart Henderson who informed the band in the New Year that he did not wish to make another album. The Delgados have always been known as uniquely collaborative songwriters and as such, it was decided that the band could not continue without all of its original members.

 

The Delgados leave behind them 5 critically acclaimed albums including The Great Eastern, Hate and last year's Universal Audio. Their two principal songwriters Emma Pollock and Alun Woodward will be pursuing individual projects and drummer Paul Savage will continue production duties at the band's Chem19 Studios in Hamilton.

 

The four friends will continue to run their record label Chemikal Underground in this, its 10th Anniversary year, with releases scheduled for Malcolm Middleton, Mother & The Addicts and Arab Strap. They are extremely grateful to everyone who has supported The Delgados over the course of their career.

 

 

We would especially like to thank all of our fans for your wonderful support. Don't be too upset everyone...get a massive carry out, turn the stereo up and play your albums at full volume.

Just found this band after watching a TV program, and after listening to some of their tracks on last.fm, I ordered The Great Eastern and Hate from amazon.

 

Such beautiful heart-moving music

 

"In cases such as these I'd like a hand

Don't wake me up without a master plan

With black & white instead of colour

Don't you understand?

When things that once were beautiful

Are bland

 

And when I feel like I can feel once again

Let me stay awhile

Soak it in awhile

If we can hold on we can fix what is wrong

Buy a little time

For this head of me

Haven for us

 

In truth there is no better place to be

Than falling out of darkness still to see

 

Without a premonition

Could you tell me where we stand?

I'd hate to lose this light

Before we land

 

And when I feel like I can feel once again

Let me stay awhile

Soak it in awhile

If we can hold on we can fix what is wrong

Buy a little time

For this head of mine

Haven for us

 

Before we let euphoria

Convince us we are free

Remind us how we used to feel

Before when life was real

 

And when I feel like I can feel once again

Let me stay awhile

Soak it in awhile

If we can hold on we can fix what is wrong

Buy a little time

For this head of mine

Haven for us"

 

One of the most beautiful songs I have heard in ages

I love love love The Delgados. The Great Eastern is one of my top ten favorite albums of all time. You are going to absolutely love it. Emma's voice is amazing. Thanks for bumping this thread... I'm going to go listen to it now.
