Founded in 2018 in Montpellier by Denis Navarro (guitarist and composer), Deleo explores a universe blending post-punk, new wave, and pop. Early on, the band caught the attention of James Sanger (Keane, Oasis), leading to a fruitful collaboration. Despite the challenges of COVID and lineup changes, Deleo evolved with the addition of Philippe Uminski as producer and Émilie Domergue on vocals, whose softness and melancholy brought a fresh dynamic. Joined by Félicien Bousquet (bass) and Benjamin Marmier (drums), Deleo crafts a sound that alternates between light and shadow. Their debut album, “The Best is Yet To Be”, was praised by the media (Oui FM, Radio France). In 2024, Deleo will launch a series of bootlegs to keep the connection with their audience, ahead of a new EP in spring 2025, produced by Philippe Uminski, and an album set for release in late 2025.
