"Underground hero Noah Radley gets reborn in the drag fires as Lynchian dream siren Patsy Delve, and hell we really need Patsy rn cos let’s face it, Cindy Lee will never make it to Bristol. Channeling the outsider sensation in her pre-Diamond Jubilee, tape-noise-Spector days, this is the dawn of something truly magical FFO: Dirty Beaches, Ariel Pink, The Shangri-Las, The Raveonettes."

Elastic Furniture Presents:
PATSY DELVE
Celebrating the physical release of new tape, 'Lipstick Criminal Moonlight'.
Taking notes from both past and present, Patsy Delve is the drag alter-ego project of Bristol based musician Noah Radley (Riley/Radley, Lande Hekt, ex-Pictureframes). Drawing inspiration from the likes of Cindy Lee, Velvet Underground, The Paris Sisters and Dirty Beaches, Patsy Delve harkens back to a time and place barely remembered; red-tinted hues, dusty highways and corners of dark late night bars
