IMPERIAL

Description

New album from THE DELINES. Led by singer Amy Boone (The Damnations) and former members of Richmond Fontaine, including Willy Vlautin, who wrote all 10 tracks on this album. The Delines had to take a break after their critically and publicly acclaimed first album, due to the singer's road accident. Five years later, their return is all the more masterful. This second album solidifies their previous efforts and the band's lineup. More acoustic and stripped-down, this new album immediately avoids the temptation to overdo it by drying out its style. Too gentle to howl with the freaks of alternative country, too mellow to play anti-folk, this second album is not without graceful impulses; each track is a bittersweet chronicle of lonely America with its quirky and insomniac characters. Available on CD, LP, and deluxe LP.
