Big Black Delta unveils instrumental track ‘Pik Pok’ ahead of upcoming album

Big Black Delta, the brainchild of LA-based musician Johnathan Bates, shares his latest single, ‘Pik Pok.’ The track serves as a preview of his fifth self-produced album, ADONAI, set for release on February 28, 2025.
Drawing inspiration from his past experiences and surrealistic visions, ‘Pik Pok’ channels an eclectic mix of influences, from mid-century composer Esquivel to what Bates describes as “DMT elf music.” Its hypnotic, otherworldly soundscape invites listeners into a portal of abstract, immersive exploration.
Bates explains the inspiration behind ‘Pik Pok’:
“At the peak of being a full-time drunk, I really enjoyed the combo of vodka, THC, and a sunrise walk. Wake up around 4am. Drink some almond milk to coat the stomach. 5 shots of vodka to the dome, followed by a lemonade with 200mg of THC. Then maybe some quick weight lifting. The combo of all of this would open a portal in my mind’s eye. This portal seemed to channel music the likes of Esquivel, the Mexican mid-century composer. DMT elf music. Here is an example of what would be playing in my head. Ride the snake.”
‘Pik Pok’ is available now, and ADONAI arrives on February 28, 2025.
