This Valentine's day, Portland-based country-soul band The Delines release their new album Mr. Luck and Ms. Doom via Decor Records. Known for their character-rich storytelling and soulful Americana sound.
The spark that ignited Mr. Luck and Ms. Doom came from a night in Dublin, Ireland, when after a gig singer Amy Boone took songwriter/guitar player Willy Vlautin aside and said, "Listen man, you have to write me a straight up love song where no one dies and nothing goes wrong or I'm going to lose my mind." When the tour ended, Vlautin holed up at home and went to work.
At the next Delines rehearsal he brought in Mr. Luck and Ms. Doom, maybe the most romantic Delines tune to date. It's the story of two ragged misfits: a failed criminal and a depressive house cleaner who somehow hit the lottery in meeting each other. With that song the soul of the record was found: ragged couples on the run. Recording began at Bocce Studios with longtime collaborator John Morgan Askew. The record features Amy Boone's lush, world worn voice, the cinematic production skills of Askew, and the horn and string arrangement of The Delines keyboardist and trumpeter, Cory Gray. This is widescreen, CinemaScope, Delines at their best."I wrote a few others in that Luck and Doom vein, happily ever after songs, but they didn't quite work and my poor old dark heart couldn't take it," Vlautin laughs. "So I brought Amy in some others, drifter couples in love, romantic albeit a bit more tragic. Luckily she liked those, too."
Mr. Luck and Ms. Doom is a record of romantic misfits and grifters who live out of suitcases and cars, who can't seem to settle down, who hope that in the next town or city will be the score that saves them. Mr. Luck and Ms. Doom features the stalwart Delines line up: Amy Boone on vocals, Cory Gray on horns and keyboards, Sean Oldham on drums, Freddy Trujillo on bass, and Willy Vlautin on guitar.
About The Delines:
The Delines were formed after Richmond Fontaine singer/songwriter, Willy Vlautin, heard singer, Amy Boone (The Damnations), sing just one single ballad. He was so moved by her voice that he secretly wrote her songs for over a year before approaching her to start a band. Lucky for all she liked what she heard and The Delines were formed. Fontaine's Sean Oldham on drums, Freddie Trujillo on bass, Vlautin on guitar, and multi-instrumentalist Cory Gray on keyboards and horns. Vlautin is no stranger to critical acclaim in the US, UK, and Europe, enjoying cult success and rave reviews from the likes of the New York Times, Washington Post, Uncut, MOJO, Hot Press, Rolling Stone and the Wall Street Journal, both as a novelist with seven books under his belt, and as the former front man/songwriter of the Americana outfit Richmond Fontaine who produced eleven acclaimed studio albums. Three of his novels have been turned into feature films: The Motel Life, Lean on Pete, and the upcoming Netflix movie The Night Always Comes starring Vanessa Kirby. Ursula K. Le Guin said this of Vlautin's writing, "Willy Vlautin is one of the bravest novelists writing... An unsentimental Steinbeck, a heartbroken Haruf, Willy Vlautin tells us who really lives now in our America, our city in ruins."
