Deslondes co-founder Riley Downing debuts on Oh Boy Records with Landfill Poetry. A former Missouri trashman turned Americana journeyman, Downing uses his husky baritone to salvage stories from his "mental landfill." The album explores graveyard shifts, family legacy, and porch-side reflections. From the restless "Hay Hay Hay" to the tender "Helen & Gene," Downing unearths sketches of life once faded, proving that one man's junk is another's soulful poetry.
