Johnny Delaware's music moves between indie rock, Americana, and psychedelic folk, with a sound that feels lush and cinematic, rooted in the vast landscapes of the country where he grew up. His new album, On God's Time , is a dreamy exploration of love, loss, gratitude, and regret, rooted in the idea that our transience is not a curse, but a gift. Produced and recorded by Delaware himself in his hometowns of Mexico City and Charleston, South Carolina, the album uses death as a means to bring life itself into sharper focus. The songs reside in the spiritual realm of the cosmic drifter, populated by characters finding their way through a world of tragic beauty and endless wonder. The performances are loose and raw, recorded live and in the moment.
For Delaware, the album is a reminder to make the most of our short, precious time. The songs move between vast landscapes, meditation, love and human connection, the open road and the fear of regret. With On God's Time, Delaware chooses to live as authentically as possible and make the kind of record he carried inside him as a child from South Dakota. It is an invitation to stop sleeping through life, to take risks, and to start living before it is too late.
