Big Black Delta – Huggin & Kissin Official Video
When Los Angeles lo-fi rockers Mellowdrone decided to take an extended break in 2010 after a decade of recording and touring, frontman Jonathan Bates found himself questioning whether life in a band was for him after all. As well as briefly playing in M83 on tour, Bates worked as delivery man and sound technician, before his friend and former Nine Inch Nails member Alessandro Cortini introduced him to the benefits of creating music on a laptop. Jonathan Bates became engrossed and it was during an intense period of creativity that Big Black Delta was born. Harnessing guitars and warped electronics to create a wall of sound, Big Black Delta — also the term used to describe a man-made UFO — released the singles If***ingloveyou and Betamax in 2012 through Master of Bates, as well as remixing a host of acts including M83 and Daft Punk.
Big Black Delta – Huggin & Kissin Lyrics:
Giving me love
All on your canvas
All of the girls
All on the mattress
Lock the door
Dim the lights
Bottoms up
I’m in love
And you too
You’re the best I can do
You’re the best I can do
You’re the
You’re the
(x2)
Pushing and shoving
Huggin’ and kissin’
All of the time
All over again
Lock the door
Then we’ll die
Bottoms up
I’m in love
I love you
You’re the best I can do
You’re the best I can do
You’re the
You’re the
(x2)
And she told me
That she loved me
And she gave me my money back
(x4)
