Album Notes

Recorded at The Woodshed in Long Beach, “Imaginary Conversations” proves that Delta Nove has matured into adulthood as a band. Without straying from the irresistible dance party vibe of earlier releases, the new subject matter comes from a place of deeper personal, spiritual, and social understanding. The addition of two new horn players, Nic Chaffee (brass) and Justin Padilla (woodwinds), as well as John “Fingaz” Caldwell on keyboards, exhibits that the band is continuing to grow, evolve, and mature musically. For the first time in Delta Nove’s history, the band enlisted the help of two outside producers; the legendary Andy Johns (Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton) and Bruce Witkin (Adam Ant, Warren Zevon). Additionally, to provide unique flavor to the arrangements, the band opened up their rolodexes and called upon a smattering of guest artists. The most notable guest is funk music’s greatest living icon, George Clinton, who belts out the hook to Delta Nove’s original funk anthem “Boom Bop”. The end-result of nearly a year of collaboration and late night studio sessions is Delta Nove’s finest work to date.
