Delia Gonzalez will release her second LP with DFA, titled Horse Follows Darkness. 

Gonzalez is a Cuban-American musician and artist, based in both New York City and Berlin. Her disciplines include everything from composer to filmmaker, choreographer, sculptor, painter, and performance artist. Her musical career with DFA Records began in 2004 when the label released the 12” single Relevee, followed by the album of cosmic acid-house The Days of Mars, with Delia and then musical partner Gavin Russom. In 2015, DFA released Delia’s first solo album titled In Remembrance.

The upcoming release takes its title from a werewolf film her 8-year-old son Wolfgang had created and is based on Gonzalez’ “personal experience of moving back to America (from Berlin) and the journey that followed,” she says. “The record is a manifestation of that, and what one creates for themselves under the given circumstances. Coming back to America, I felt like a foreigner and NYC / America felt like the Wild West.”

The album was recorded with Abe Seiferth at Transmitter Park studios, which Delia likens to “going to the nest tailor.” Seiferth became an integral part of the recording, playing guitar and helping to suggest experimenting with different synthesizers, something Delia was keen to do. Gonzalez refers to Seiferth as “a magical and incredibly intuitive collaborator” regarding the sound of the record.
