Roots band The Deslondes consists of five school friends from New Orleans, who make a kind of roots rock in which rhythm and blues, country, folk and soul all come together. All band members contribute to the song-writing and take turns on vocals. As a result, their most recent album “Ways & Means” is a colourful pallet of different strands of roots music.
The status of the band was unclear for a while, as each of its members also have solo projects. Seven years after their first self-titled album, they did come back in 2022 with “Ways & Means”. Led by producer Anrija Tokic, they recorded this new album in Los Angeles.
