Other Delights

Other Delights. Ferncore. Easy glistening. Screwtop exotica. Cocobilly. A band with such remarkable cross-genre fluency that no single descriptor captures their essence, and new terminologies emerge. Other Delights was forged in Los Angeles in 2024 by drummer and producer Robin MacMillan, singer-songwriter Adron, bassist Aaron Olson ( LA Takedown, Musical Tracing Ensemble) and Andrew Dorsett (Lake, Tucker Zimmerman) on keys. All shared passions for dollar-bin lounge, '60s Euro cinema soundtracks, bubblegum psychedelia and Tropicália. Shaking off the hangover of recent cynic-donimated decades where "extra" is a pejorative, Other Delights go bananas - Adron's vocals frequently soar into operatic ranges. MacMillan's blocks and bells conjure wild, hallucinatory, even cartoonish spaces. Olson's harmonica serves hammy and heartfelt in equal measure. Dorsett's keys sweep and sparkle in exquisite melodrama. "Yes, and," indeed.
