Hurry Home represents a sonic shift from the countryfolk of the Deslondes self titled debut. The bands second album is a sometimes-psychedelic, electrified gospel-soul sound, with a stronger emphasis on organ and electric guitar. The band split up songwriting and lead vocal duties among its five members, continuing its democratic ethos and musical versatility. The sound may continue to draw comparisons to the country-funkiness of The Band, but The Deslondes were equally inspired by the sound of early Sun Records, the punchy rock and roll of VU-era Velvet Underground and the experimental pop of Joe Meek. Perhaps most importantly, Hurry Home is the sound of a band that understands the history of American music, but is deftly finding their own contemporary approach.
Hurry Home has been out of print since its original pressing in 2017. New West Records is proud to get this record back in stock. Pick up a copy on limited edition Mardi Gras Gold. it's the first color pressing of this record.
