We shed old skin in order to evolve and move forward. We let go of who we were in the past and embrace who we're meant to be now. The Deslondes have taken such steps as not only bandmates, but as brothers. The New Orleans quintet--Dan Cutler, Sam Doores, Riley Downing, Cameron Snyder, and John James Tourville--have weathered ups, downs, and everything in between only to strengthen the bond between them.
Infusing everything from saxophone, flute, and synth to string arrangements and a full drum kit for the first time, the group naturally progress and evolve in real-time on their third full-length offering, Ways & Means [New West Records].
~~~~~~~~
The Deslondes are a five-piece band from New Orleans. In the time between the release of their self-titled debut and 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 psychedelic 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. Recording sessions took place throughout the past year in New Orleans and Nashville alongside longtime producer Andrija Tokic. The album that emerged is Hurry Home.
"It's a fitting title for this album because our lives and our songwriting revolve around leaving and returning, or searching for, home," says the band. "And home can be a physical place, a relationship, or a state of mind."
Artists / Speakers: The Deslondes, Miss Lonely Hearts, Pony Hunt.
Price: GA - USD 15.
