Robert DeLong is a one-man rave with a drummer's instincts. The Bothell, Washington, native came up with a percussion background and a love of indie rock, then built his sound out of house, dubstep and moombahton, and In the Cards, his 2015 album on Glassnote Records, is where the pieces lock together best.
"Long Way Down" is the standout, a restless, kinetic track where the beat keeps pitching forward and DeLong's voice rides the drop like a skateboarder hitting a ramp. "Don't Wait Up" from the same record keeps the pulse racing. His debut, Just Movement, in 2013, had already announced the plan with "Global Concepts", a jittery, hook-laden blast of electronic pop.
He has kept at it, releasing Walk Like Me in 2021 and Playlist of Doom in 2024, and now works out of Los Angeles.
