New West Records

New West Records is a rock-oriented independent label that was founded in 1997. With a focus on alternative, indie, country, and folk music, this US-based label has established itself as a powerhouse in the industry. Headquartered in Los Angeles and Austin TX, New West Records also exclusively represents the renowned PBS Television program Austin City Limits. Known for their commitment to showcasing both archival and current performances, this label releases an impressive range of music on DVD and CD formats.

The Deslondes are a captivating American folk band known for their unique blend of country, blues, and soul. Hailing from New Orleans, this talented group of musicians has been making waves in the music industry since their formation in 2013.
Inspired by artists such as *Luke Bell*, *Riley Downing*, and *Sam Doores*, The Deslondes have carved out their own distinct sound that resonates with audiences worldwide. Their heartfelt lyrics and infectious melodies transport listeners to a bygone era while still maintaining a contemporary edge.
With their rich harmonies and impressive instrumental skills, The Deslondes deliver unforgettable live performances that leave fans craving more. Whether you're a fan of traditional folk or modern Americana, this dynamic ensemble is sure to captivate your musical senses.

The band splits up songwriting and lead vocal duties among its five members, continuing its democratic ethos and musical versatility. Multiple members have released solo recordings between their sophomore release, Hurry Home (2016) and their latest release Ways &amp; Means but throughout the time between albums the Deslondes continued to build on their inventive take on New Orleans country and R&amp;B. Ways &amp; Means finds the band leaning on the country-folk of their debut along with the sometimes-psychedelic, electrified gospel-soul sound of Hurry Home. The sound will continue to draw comparisons to the country-funkiness of The Band, Link Wray and others but Ways &amp; Means is the sound of a band that understands the history of American music, while embracing their own contemporary approach
