OVERLOADED

DELANILA is the band, studio project, and artist alias of composer and songwriter Danielle Eva Schwob. It’s a space where maximalism meets intimacy — as loud and expansive as it is introspective and intricate.

In 2020, DELANILA released its debut album, OVERLOADED. Co-produced by Schwob and Grammy-winner David Bottrill (Tool, Muse, Placebo), the 12-track record tells stories of human pushback and perspective in the throes of the digital age. Lush electro-art-pop arrangements unfold beneath lyrics and melodies that are as intuitive as they are adventurous, often shaped by Schwob’s deep interest in cinema and science fiction.

The album’s collaborators span musical worlds: Grammy-winning engineer Emily Lazar (Sia, Coldplay), drummer Aaron Steele (Portugal. The Man), Nick Semrad and Adam Agati of Cory Henry’s Funk Apostles, and violinist Jennifer Choi (John Zorn), among others. Schwob herself contributed synths, vocals, guitars, programming, and string arrangements, drawing on her hybrid roots, with many collaborators from her concert music life crossing over into the record.

OVERLOADED was an Apple Music Indie/Alternative featured release and appeared on NPR’s All Songs Considered, which named it a top 5 album of the week. The single “The Philosopher” charted on college and commercial radio, while “It’s Been A While Since I Went Outside” gained viral traction on TikTok. Additional press coverage came from Clash, Music Tech, Music OMH, Dr. Vinyl, Mundane Magazine, and more. Schwob also appeared as part of Sennheiser’s Don’t Stop The Music. Tracks have received radio play across the U.S., Canada, and internationally.

Schwob is also a visual storyteller, directing, editing, and producing many of DELANILA’s videos. Her self-directed “visual poem” for “It’s Been A While Since I Went Outside,” shot solo on iPhone in the empty streets of Manhattan during early COVID lockdown, was featured by The New York Times alongside The Rolling Stones, Juice WRLD, and Jónsi, leading to interviews on NY1, multiple podcasts, and several festival awards. “The Philosopher,” co-directed with Berlin-based VFX artist Simon Villaret, premiered via Clash Magazine and won multiple awards. The video for “Time Slips Away” received honors from the LA Film Festival, Indie X Fest, Utah Music Video Awards, and more. Her latest video, “I Get Bored,” premiered via Vevo’s Incoming Indie and aired on Apple TV, Roku, and international broadcast outlets.

DELANILA is released independently via Schwob’s own label, ZYG ZYG Records, with a second album in the works for release next year.
