The Delines announce their new album, set for release on Valentines day

Today, Portland-based country-soul band The Delines announce their new album 'Mr. Luck & Ms. Doom' due out 14th February via Decor Records. Known for their character-rich storytelling and soulful Americana sound, the band also shares the album’s first single,'Left Hook Like Frazier', a cautionary tale of love, heartbreak, and the risks of seeking comfort in the wrong places.

The spark that ignited 'Mr Luck & 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 & 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.

Mr. Luck & 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 & 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.
