Robert Steven Moore (born January 18, 1952) is an American multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter who pioneered lo-fi (or "DIY") music. Often called the "godfather of home recording", he is one of the most recognized artists of the cassette underground, and his influence is particularly felt in the bedroom and hypnagogic pop artists of the post-millennium. Since 1968, he has self-released approximately 400 albums, while about three dozen official albums (largely compilations) have been issued on various labels.

Delicate Tension is the second official album by American musician R. Stevie Moore, issued in a small pressing by his uncle Harry Palmer's H.P. Music in November 1978. The album is the follow-up to the compilation Phonography (1976). It mainly contains Moore's new songs and sound experiments captured since his recent move north from Nashville to New Jersey, all recorded on 1/4 track 7½ ips reel-to-reel stereo tape decks. The album cover was designed by Moore himself.

The album captures Moore's transition after moving from Nashville to New Jersey, drawing inspiration from the blossoming New York new wave scene. Recorded entirely by Moore in a one-man-band fashion on quarter-inch, reel-to-reel stereo tape decks, it is highly regarded by critics as one of the finest home-recorded pop masterpieces of the 1970s, standing alongside works by Paul McCartney and Todd Rundgren.
