The Portland, Oregon based Country-Soul group The Delines will release their third studio album, The Sea Drift, on vinyl on June 24, 2022 via their new American label home Jealous Butcher Records. The cinematic 11-track album stems from the musical collaboration of Willy Vlautin (Richmond Fontaine) and Amy Boone (The Damnations). They’ve recently released their video for “Surfers In Twilight” from the new album.
Filmed at Bocce studio, everything is stripped away but the musicians and their instruments. Vlautin, The Deline’s songwriter comments:
Amy and I cut this live in the studio. At that time we had been listening to a lot of spaghetti western records, and this is what came of it. Her vocals on this one just kill me. It’s the story of a woman in a coastal town getting off work and walking down the street to see her husband thrown against a wall and handcuffed by the police. She doesn’t know what he’s done, but in her heart she knows he’s done something.
The Delines will head out on a European tour in April then will play a hometown Vinyl Release Show in Portland, OR in June before heading back to Europe in July for another run of dates.
