Delphic are a band from Stockport, England. They are signed to Polydor but released their first single "Counterpoint", produced by Ewan Pearson, in April 2009 through R&S Records. The band started out as a trio – Richard "Rick" Boardman, Matt Cocksedge, and James Cook – after their previous group, Snowfight in the City Centre, disbanded. They are now a four-piece band, augmented by drummer Dan Hadley, incorrectly identified as "Dan Theman" on early news coverage such as Paul Lester's coverage of them in his "New Band of the Day" feature.
In 2009 the band toured the UK music festival circuit, playing at T in the Park, Reading and Leeds Festivals, and Creamfields, among others.
The EP for "This Momentary" was released on 31 August 2009 through Kitsuné. The music video for "This Momentary" was nominated for three UK Music Video Awards, including Best Cinematography, Best Editing and Best Telecine. In November 2009 they made their first TV appearance appearing on Later... with Jools Holland playing "Doubt" and "Halcyon".
Maybe this, made for two, maybe you,
But I can't put a Fy's apple pie in my mind,
With distractions that happen,
Refraction that matters is clear,
Disappear in an empty room,
Oh I wanted to be next to you when it all falls through,
When your world implodes,
When your memory goes,
When it all takes its toll,
I'll put my heart into your hands,
I wouldn't stop the red lights,
I wouldn't come up for air,
I wouldn't stop the red lights,
I wouldn't even have to think twice,
I wouldn't stop the red lights,
I wouldn't come up for air,
I wouldn't stop the red lights, red light, red light, red light, red light.. etc, red lights,
You can try if you like terrorising my mind what you see you at night,
While I can't leave behind with a futile gesture,
A loaded question I know must be hope,
A romantic notion a self not enough,
Circumstances dictate as a whim(pf) as a fire that still burns inside,
If you were to call I'd risk a second broken heart for you.
I wouldn't stop the red lights.
I wouldn't come up for air.
I wouldn't stop the red lights.
I wouldn't even have to think twice.
I wouldn't stop the red lights.
I wouldn't come up for air
I wouldn't stop the red lights, red light, red light, red light, red light.. etc, red lights,
I wouldn't stop the red lights,
I wouldn't come up for air,
I wouldn't stop the red lights,
I wouldn't stop the red lights,
I wouldn't stop the red lights,
I wouldn't stop the red lights,
