DELPHii is the moniker of Newcastle-based Angelene Holmes, who is finally stepping back from her contributions to other artist projects to focus on her solo work. The name comes from Greek mythology, after the city housing the Temple of Apollo. The temple’s high priestess, Pythia, was a powerful feminine figure in the classical world, and it is for this reason that Holmes was drawn to the name DELPHii.
“Lilac” is the title track from DELPHii’s forthcoming debut EP. It deftly blends neo-soul sensibilities with all the allure of bedroom pop, topped off with a hypnotically beautiful vocal melody.
