New Delines album is released this Friday (Valentines Day).. and look what the press are saying about it
“The Delines’ finest album to date... You’d have to reach for the likes of Bobbie Gentry’s Patchwork or Rickie Lee Jones’ Pirates to find a world so rich and intimately strange... Amy Boone’s voice is sweet and wry as a glass of Bourbon for breakfast, ‘Left hook Like Frazier’ grooves like prime Curtis Mayfield.” Uncut – 9/10
“Musical storytelling at its finest... This a high-quality record that deserves your attention; the songs are exquisite, the arrangements and musicianship superb, and Boone is sounding better than ever.” Americana UK – 9/10
“W***y Vlautin’s songs intertwine with the thematic command of a Robert Altman film on The Delines’ richest album yet. Handled with a care the world has refused them, these characters’ tales make for devastatingly immersive listening.” Record Collector – 4 stars ****
“W***y Vlautin and Amy Boone have honed their take on world weary Americana with a soulful undertow that continues to surprise.” MOJO – 4 stars ****
“The Delines turn the lives of misfits, ramblers, losers, grifters and the lovelorn into beautiful vignettes of country and soul music... Vlautin chronicles modern American life with an eye like Faulkner, Carver and Steinbeck...They raise country soul to an artform.” Louder Than War
“Chock-full of melancholic short story songs, classic-sounding vocals from Boone and the band’s sumptuous country soul, it’s another triumph from The Delines.” The Morning Star – 4 stars ****
“Mr Luck and Ms Doom further proves why W***y Vlautin is rightly considered one of America’s greatest songwriters.” KLOF magazine
“A dark soulful record... Grifters, felons and addicts permeate through a delicate musical fabric.” Narc – 4 stars ****
“A compelling album... The Delines are a band steeped in storytelling, each song being a miniature short story.” Silent Radio
