Delaware, released on June 19, 1992, was the debut album from Drop Nineteens, a Boston band that started with two Boston University classmates, Greg Ackell on vocals and guitar and Chris Roof on drums. They filled out the ranks with Paula Kelley on vocals and guitar, Motohiro Yasue on guitar and Steve Zimmerman on bass, and Ackell later cast them as the Yankee odd ones out in a scene that was mostly British. Three guitars, and they use every one: this is shoegaze and noise pop in full bloom, melodies half drowned in fuzz, his voice and Kelley's floating somewhere behind the wall.
Hut Records put it out in Britain alongside the single "Winona". The lineup came apart soon after and the band were done by 1995, but Delaware got a second life in 2009, when Cherry Red reissued it with four bonus tracks from the Your Aquarium EP, and Ackell brought the band back in 2022.
