DELREI Feat. Collin Hegna: “Wicked Wicked Ways”
streaming at: Spotify & Apple iTunes

Genres: Psych Rock, Dark Country, Gothic Americana
RIYL: Federale, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Angelo Badalamenti
After 2023’s iconic future western debut, DELREI’s Alessandro Mercanzin returns from the red desert with this seductive collaboration of slow-burning tension. The Italian guitarist joins forces with Portland, Oregon's veteran vocalist Collin Hegna of Federale on a dreamlike atmosphere where desire, danger and fatalism blur into one! Hegna’s hauntingly magnetic voice drifts above Mercanzin’s reverberating “Lynch-Badalamenti” electric guitar twangs immersed in shadowy, atmospheric tones. "Wicked Wicked Ways" talks about a past that continues to haunt; a dangerous relationship wherein allure and desire coexist with fear, suspicion, and pain.
