The Deslondes – Hurry Home (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Rooted in the same New Orleans soil that gave the world Professor Longhair and Allen Toussaint, The Deslondes arrived as one of the more genuinely communal bands to emerge from that city's modern roots scene. Where most groups settle into a single voice and vision, this band functions more like a collective, each member bringing a distinct sensibility that somehow coheres into something warm and urgent and lived-in.
The Deslondes are a five-piece band from New Orleans. In the time between the release of their self-titled debut and new sophomore album, Hurry Home, The Deslondes have toured the world and drawn critical acclaim for their studied and inventive take on New Orleans country and R&B. Hurry Home represents a sonic shift from the country-folk of their debut to a sometimes-psychedelic, electrified gospel-soul sound, with a stronger emphasis on organ and electric guitar. The band split up songwriting and lead vocal duties among its five members, continuing its democratic ethos and musical versatility. The sound may continue to draw comparisons to the country-funkiness of The Band, but The Deslondes were equally inspired by the sound of early Sun Records, the punchy rock and roll of VU-era Velvet Underground and the experimental pop of Joe Meek. Perhaps most importantly, Hurry Home is the sound of a band that understands the history of American music, but is deftly finding their own contemporary approach.
