Perhaps “Some Sunsick Day” is Morgan Delt’s own personal “Velvet Morning,” but rather than galloping on horseback across a misty beach, he finds himself ambling between the windmills of his mind, floating in the stoner haze of a bathtub. Either way, the song whisks listeners away to a warm fantastic place saddled to a wiggly keyboard riff that keeps bubbling up between guitar strums and gauzy effects. “Some Sunsick Day” is on Delt’s latest album, his first for Sub Pop, “Phase Zero.” Morgan Delt first appeared on a 6-song cassette released in 2013, “Psychic Death Hole,” followed by a self-titled full length for Trouble In Mind the following year, carving his own cozy cocoon in the crowded house of California pop-psych by self-producing, performing, and recording everything himself. With no one to set limits or mire his vision, Delt has done it again with “Phase Zero,” a fairly cheerful sounding bunch of songs recorded at his Topanga Canyon studio, with mastering by JJ Golden at Golden Mastering. The album lands on Aug. 26.
