THE DESLONDES - Don’t Let It Die: Vol. 1 - LP - Black Vinyl [MAY 22]

LP - Standard Edition Black Vinyl. 

The Deslondes are a five-piece group from New Orleans, Louisiana. The band splits up songwriting and lead vocal duties among its five members, continuing its democratic ethos and musical versatility. Now, with their latest record, Don’t Let It Die: Vol. 1, the band continues to build on their inventive take on New Orleans country and R&B by covering some of their favourite songs that have inspired their sound and love of music. Don’t Let It Die: Vol. 1 finds the band covering select songs from artist such as Swamp Dogg, Johnny Cash, Pat Reedy and Hurricane Smith but Don’t Let It Die: Vol. 1 is the sound of a band that understands the history of American music, while embracing their own contemporary approach.
