Now & Then: The Deslondes’ Don’t Let It Die: Vol. 1 and the reach of The Blasters’ American Music
The Deslondes’ Don’t Let It Die: Vol. 1 is a covers album with a clear purpose: to show where the band comes from and who they listen to. The record draws from country, soul, R&B, swamp pop, and roots music, with songs associated with artists including Swamp Dogg, Johnny Cash, Clifton Chenier, Shelby Lynne, Pat Reedy, and The Kernal. For a “Then” comparison, The Blasters’ 1980 debut American Music is a strong match. It is also a roots-minded record built from older American styles, balancing original songs with covers that show the band’s musical foundation. -

Future Mondays – Faithlessly
“Faithlessly” is the first of four releases from Future Mondays, a NYC indie rock band, following their 2023 self-titled EP.Produced by Grammy nominee Tom Gardner at Rift Studios, this track is short and to the point, featuring anthemic vocals, pounding drums, and an irresistible energy.With stellar production (it sounds really great) and a flawless performance from the band, it’s definitely worth a listen on Spotify.

Summer Lies Beyond (Comedy of Errors, 2023)
This is the long track (15 ’27”) opening the 2023 album “Threnody for A Dead Queen” by Comedy of Errors, a very good (IMHO) band from Glasgow, Scotland, you’ll also find elsewhere in this blog. It’s a well written, performed and arranged song, with a constant tension all along its phases and such a beautiful, elegant atmosphere.
This “Threnody” was the sixth studio album by COE.
The electronic elements are never rigid and perfectly melt into the melodic texture of the track, guiding the listener through a fascinating musical tour. I also like the vocal harmonies, the keyboard sounds, the rhythmic section’s work and, of course the guitar parts. The final crescendo adds a grandiose side to the big picture, so that any prog heart will be fulfilled. Take this trip and be happy!
