The Deslondes "Roll It Out"

The 13-song set was produced by Andrija Tokic and The Deslondes and was recorded at the Bombshelter in East Nashville, Tenn. The disc follows 2022's "Ways & Means" and is their first album with new drummer Howe Pearson (previously a touring member for Hurray for the Riff Raff).

All songs were written by The Deslondes with the exception of "Drifter's Wife" by J.J. Cale. The album also features guest vocals by Twain (Mat Davidson) and horn arrangements by Tuba Skinny.

The Deslondes are Sam Doores, Riley Downing, Dan Cutler, John James Tourville and Pearson.

Tourville, one of their five songwriters and multi-instrumentalists, said "It reminds me of back when we were starting out, before we were even the Deslondes — back when we were the Tumbleweeds. It's like we're moving forward to get to where we were."

The Deslondes combine early Stax, Sun, and Atlantic Records with the influence of a more raw, stripped-down sound gleaned off field recordings from Alan Lomax and psychedelic flourishes.

Founded less as a band than as a neighborhood hang at Sam Doores' home on Deslonde Street in New Orleans, the band devised an anything-goes philosophy that allowed them to incorporate sounds they picked up on their travels and everything they heard at home: classic country, folk, punk, rural blues, Third Ward jazz, rockabilly, R&B, Fats Domino and Allen Toussaint, George Jones and The Band.

The Dan Cutler-penned "Lies I've Told" premiered today. Cutler said, "A few years back there was a hurricane named Zeta that came through New Orleans. As with all hurricanes there was the feeling of doom and reckoning that accompanied its arrival. Zeta was a little different though, in that it passed directly over the city. The eye settled over my neighborhood right at dusk, and the clouds parted for about a half an hour to reveal a beautiful sunset. The power was out so I walked around for a bit. The streets were empty, there was debris everywhere. It was very still and beautiful, also eerie and apocalyptic. I went home afterward and wrote this Omega Man themed love song.

The Deslondes previously released the video for the Doores-penned "Take Me Back." The band also previously shared "I'll Do It," written by Pearson, as well.

"This band feels like the old family farm," said Doores. "It's a place where we can meet for the Fourth of July, bring our families, grill some burgers, and make some music together. It's always going to be there, and we know it's going to work and feel good."

The Deslondes will launch their touring in support of "Roll It Out" on Sept. 4-5 in Brooklyn, N.Y. The tour, which will last throughout the end of the year, features a run of performances with Shannon & The Clams, and is currently scheduled to end at the Brooklyn Folk Fest in Brooklyn.
