Cor de Lux Share “The Deli” Video Ahead of Year Of The Horse Album on Ipecac Recordings

Cor de Lux have released a new single, “The Deli,” alongside a striking stop-motion video, offering another preview of their upcoming debut album Year Of The Horse, out September 18 via Ipecac Recordings.

The track leans into the band’s blend of noisy indie rock and melodic hooks, drawing comparisons closer to Sonic Youth than the heavier experimental acts typically associated with the label. Built around intertwined guitars and alternating vocals from Dawn Moraga and Tim Lusk, “The Deli” delivers both tension and catchiness in equal measure.

The video, directed and animated by Stephen Coad, brings those themes to life through a surreal, campy stop-motion style. Its handcrafted aesthetic mirrors the song’s off-kilter tone, turning political commentary into something visually strange and memorable.

Produced by J. Robbins, Year Of The Horse is set to showcase the North Carolina band’s dynamic range, balancing post-hardcore urgency with shoegaze textures and melodic songwriting. The album follows their recent single “The Cringe” and continues to build momentum ahead of its release.

Cor de Lux are also hitting the road this fall, including a Toronto stop at Lee’s Palace on October 10 alongside Slift. You can get tickets to the show HERE.

If you’re into angular indie rock with bite and personality, this is one to have on your radar. Watch the video for their new single “The Deli” below:
