Johnny Delaware’s music drifts between indie rock, Americana, and psychedelic folk, with a sound that feels lush and cinematic, rooted in the vast landscapes of the country where he grew up. His new album On God’s Time is a dreamy exploration of love, loss, gratitude, and regret, rooted in the idea that our impermanence is not a curse, but a gift. Produced by Delaware himself and recorded in his home bases of Mexico City and Charleston, South Carolina, the album uses death as a lens to bring life itself into sharper focus. The songs inhabit the spiritual realm of the cosmic drifter, populated by characters finding their way through a world of tragic beauty and endless wonder. The performances are loose and raw, recorded live and in the moment.
For Delaware, the album is a reminder to make the most of our short, precious time. The songs move between vast landscapes, meditation, love and human connection, the open road, and the fear of regret. With On God’s Time Delaware chooses to live as authentically as possible and create the kind of record he carried within him as a child in South Dakota. It is an invitation to stop sleepwalking through life, to take risks, and to start living before it is too late.
