Americana with smarts and star-appeal + The Calicos!
The Delines is an American band from Portland, Oregon. The mainstay is formed by guitarist-composer Willy Vlautin and songstress Amy Boone. They have just completed their moving second CD 'The Imperial' (out here via V2). After 'Colfax', their 2014 debut, we had to wait until Amy had sufficiently healed from a serious traffic accident.
Support-act will be the rightful winners of Rock Rally 2018, THE CALICOS
HUMO: 'The comparison with The War on Drugs isn’t pulled out of thin air but... they just as easily remind one of Neil Young or Nick Drake in the ‘Bryter Layter’ days. Or Wilco. And, yes, those are serious compliments.'
In the press
Dansende Beren: ****+ 1/2*! 'Pareltje vol empathie en levenswijze americana.'Le Soir MAD: *** '...fait la part belle à un americana gorgé de soul, avec une Amy au sommet de son art. De la peine et de la souffrance naît une oeuvre lumineuse à souhait.'
In De Morgen bij een keuze van de week: 'Herfstkleurige, zacht wiegende ballads staan garant voor wateroogjes, trillende lippen en gloomy, bluesy feelings.'
