The Deslondes’ Hurry Home is a radiant journey through the annals of American music sensibilities, now available in a stunning Mardi Gras Gold pressing. This 2017 sophomore album marks an adventurous sonic shift for the band, transitioning from their country-folk roots to an electrified, sometimes-psychedelic, gospel-soul soundscape.

In Hurry Home, the band showcases its knack for collaboration, with songwriting and lead vocals democratically shared among its five members. This versatility, coupled with their revered country-funkiness reminiscent of The Band, is infused with influences from early Sun Records, Velvet Underground's rock verve, and Joe Meek's experimental pop flair. Tracks in this album reflect the richness of these inspirations, making it a sonic tapestry that appeals to both the old-time enthusiasts and contemporary listeners.

Standing out in the album is their strong emphasis on the organ and electric guitar, defining their modern, captivating sound. Hurry Home is more than just an album; it’s an exploration and a testament to The Deslondes’ understanding of musical history while boldly paving their own path. This release is a must-listen for anyone enamored with rich musical narrations.

Long out of print since its initial release, Hurry Home makes a triumphant return thanks to New West Records. With its first-ever color pressing, this limited edition Mardi Gras Gold vinyl is as much a visual treat as it is an auditory journey. Perfect for collectors and audiophiles alike, this release is a bold statement piece for any record collection.
