The Deslondes [Mardi Gras Purple] Vinyl

Immerse yourself in the lush sonic landscape of The Deslondes' eponymous debut album, now available in a stunning Mardi Gras Purple vinyl edition, limited to just 750 units.

Hailing from the vibrant streets of New Orleans, The Deslondes craft a heartfelt homage to American music's eclectic history with this debut. Co-produced with the masterful Andrija Tokic at The Bomb Shelter, the album weaves together a vibrant tapestry of influences. Imagine the twang of roots country, the shuffle of swamp-boogie, and the lyrical depth of folk intersecting with the warmth of classic soul and rock 'n' roll. It's no wonder that Rolling Stone hailed their sound as both a resurrection and evolution of musical traditions, likening it to the richness of Stax and Sun Records.

Each track on this 12-song collection showcases the ensemble's array of gifted songwriting voices, echoing the spirit of legendary troubadours like Woody Guthrie and Hank Williams. The album's soul is deeply rooted in upright-bass-driven melodies, offering a lively yet respectful nod to past eras while maintaining an invigorating modernity. The band’s ability to mine the past and infuse it with fresh energy is akin to encountering a timeless conversation, vibrant and wholly unique.

With a track record of touring alongside giants such as Alabama Shakes and The Lumineers, The Deslondes have solidified their reputation as sonic adventurers. Their debut, cloaked in the charm of this exclusive purple vinyl, is an essential gem for collectors and music lovers eager to experience the rich, traveling narrative of America's musical heritage.
