"Hello, 

I'm having another one-man-social-anxiety-dance-party and you are all invited. It will be filled with nostalgia and regret, like your favourite noughties music videos, and parties you mum tentatively let you go to with a four-pack of RTDs.  

There will also be free food. 

Please come."

Jacob hates attending parties, they are uncomfortable and awkward and everybody is looking at him. He’s been to a few now and he’s come up with the rules for a successful event. Jacob’s Party is an hour long music video to the soundtrack of our youth. Jacob takes his social anxiety, holds a mirror to it and laughs in its face.

"Too funky for folk and too folky for funk - that's Sonic Delusion's Latin-infused, pop-laced "funky electroacoustic folk".

Sonic Delusion’s frontman Andre Manella uses his well-worn loop pedal to spontaneously create layers of rhythm, tone, and vocals.

The Swiss-Kiwi electro-folk raconteur “easily carves out his own unapologetically ambitious and intriguingly experimental sound”.

“Catchy loops invite plenty of dancing and hip swaying… a sensual delight to the ears."
