Ode to Sunshine by Delta Spirit
Ode to Sunshine is an album by Delta Spirit, released in 2007. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 11 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Trashcan”, on 8 lists with a best position of #45.
Ode to Sunshine, Delta Spirit's debut album, was cut in a cabin in Julian, California and put out by the band themselves in late 2007, then reissued by Rounder Records on August 26, 2008, with new cover art and a reworked "Streetwalker". It followed the I Think I've Found It EP. The San Diego band had come together in 2005 when Jonathan Jameson (bass) and Brandon Young (drums) teamed up with Matthew Logan Vasquez, a singer Young had first found busking on a bench at two in the morning, with Kelly Winrich joining within the year.
They produced it themselves, and the cabin sessions gave it a raw, rootsy, lived-in rattle; AllMusic even heard shades of the Basement Tapes. "Trashcan" stomps and staggers, "Parade" crawls along in a whiskey-soaked grind, and the whole thing holds together with more discipline than its looseness suggests. "People C'Mon" is the other track the countdowns picked up. Metacritic scored it 77.
