    A rich, nuanced, fantastically enjoyable album that understands great music is often the product of a historical continuum rather than radical innovation, and which saves its best trick 'til last. [Aug 2015, p.82]

    The Deslondes provide a thrilling, original blend of American music that can’t be found anywhere else.

    Their debut introduces a band that sounds confident and fully formed.

    The misery expressed on different songs is lightened by an awareness of the absurdness of it all.

    An engaging debut from a band that hits a graceful midpoint between The Basement Tapes and the Gourds, not to mention delivering one of 2015's more pleasant surprises.
