Indie rock songwriter Steve O’Reilly has joined forces with legendary drummer Brian Delaney for his latest single, “Silent Disco Alone.” Delaney, a mainstay of the New York rock scene, brings a storied pedigree to the track, having played on David Bowie’s haunting final masterpiece “Lazarus”, as well as touring and recording extensively with the New York Dolls and Melissa Etheridge.
“Silent Disco Alone” is a gritty, cinematic exploration of modern isolation. Driven by O’Reilly’s evocative vocals and Delaney’s unmistakable percussive weight, the track captures the feeling of being “lost in the crowd”–a theme that resonates deeply in a post-digital world.
“Having the drummer from Bowie’s ‘Lazarus’ on this track changed everything,” says O’Reilly. “Brian has this incredible ability to play with both immense power and a ghost-like touch. He didn’t just provide a beat; he provided the soul of the song.”
The collaboration highlights O’Reilly’s evolution as a songwriter, moving into a more expansive, art-rock territory that honors his New York roots while looking forward. Recorded in New York’s : Engine Sound Studios, and mixed by Producer Matt Anthony, the single serves as the lead preview for O’Reilly’s upcoming ADAMANTIUM album.
“Silent Disco Alone” is available now on all streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal.
