Trappings by Spencer Delgado

Trappings is the sound of a city that doesn’t exist—but should. Inspired by long walks through imagined streets and late-night visions of a Blade Runner-like world, Spencer Delgado’s latest album weaves together jazz noir, cyberpunk decay, and a deep sense of emotional isolation. Originally conceived as a Radiohead-style EP, Trappings evolved into something more cinematic, more immersive—a nocturnal journey through alleyways, jazz clubs, neon-lit rooms, and distant corners where danger and beauty blur.

Tracks like “EVILDOER” and “Kaneda” pulse with unease, while “I Heard the Rats” and “Down and Down and Down” suggest a character spiraling inward, lost in synthetic shadows. Textures and electronic elements collide across the album, creating a dissonant harmony—one that feels human, but maybe not entirely. At its heart, Trappings is about the feeling of being a synth in a world that’s forgotten what it means to feel.

Closing with the haunting “Mosquito Tundra” and featuring a standout collaboration with Tony Wilt on the title track, the album doesn’t resolve so much as it lingers—like the glow of city lights in a rearview mirror.

Trappings is not just music. It’s architecture, emotion, static, and memoryscored for a world built out of dream logic and broken sound.
