A creative triumph for any artist, Deleter is well-rounded and a welcome return for the Toronto outfit.
The band have assembled a great selection of tunes that showcase a wide variety of styles, and Deleter is highly recommended for those on the intersection between electronica and rock.
Tipping closer to dance-pop than noise-rock, Deleter is one of Holy Fuck's most finely tuned albums, yet the band sound as spontaneous as ever.
'Deleter' successfully blurs boundaries between time and space while gifting the listener with the unexpected opportunity for a total sonic catharsis.
Holy Fuck have come up with a worthy new chapter their ongoing adventure.
The band’s fun and pretty new full-length, Deleter, continues this growth and expansion.
On Deleter, Holy Fuck have enthusiastically thrown themselves into the kaleidoscopic world of the early 1990s house scene while adding a few footnotes using their particular musical vocabulary.
Even though it doesn't reach the exhilarating highs of their peak moments, Deleter works as a serviceable showcase of the band's grasp of controlled rhythm and noise.
Much of Deleter occupies latter-day Primal Scream/David Holmes territory, the kind of pleasantly anonymous groove-driven middle ground that wavers non-committally between inchoate anger and fuzzy euphoria.
It’s a danceable, euphoric album and one that continually displays the band’s ability to discover their own potential.
The most interesting moments on ‘Deleter’ arrive when the band embrace ’90s dance in all its euphoric, Technicolor glory.
There’s a lack of playfulness that infused their earlier work, ultimately leaving Deleter to feel a little undercooked.
Our sonic landscape has significantly shifted and developed since the band first carved out their sound. Too much of the material on Deleter sounds oblivious to this, and as a result, dated.
Love the tension that builds in this album, each song feels as though it’s ready to let loose any second. Just a shame that it falls near the end.

Goes for the indietronica 'cathedral of sound' approach - it can end up a bit too much of the one good thing is the main criticism.
En su momento fui bastante bipolar con este álbum, primero no le vi nada especial, y lo dejé pasar, luego lo vi melódico y realmente admirable y un logro bastante alto, luego me aburría, y ahora, lo entiendo: Deleter es el camino de una banda tratando de sentirse bien de la manera qué la banda quiere.
Deleter es noise dance pop con un poco de noise rock, no es la lo movido o frenético de LATIN o de LP, son acordes bastante agradables que nos hacen ... read more
Pretty cool stuff. The first three tracks here are great but I got a little distracted towards the latter half, still sounded cool.
