The debut album from The Delines, Colfax is a stunning, timeless collection of songs with the intimacy of a midnight confessional. Like a beat-up Dusty Springfield after too many long nights working a dreary after-hours bar, the album has the skid row heart of Tom Waits, the street-tough weariness of early Rickie Lee Jones, and the cool, laid back sound of Mazzy Star.

The Delines are led by vocalist Amy Boone (The Damnations), alongside the keyboard work of Jenny Conlee (The Decemberists) as well as fellow Portlanders Sean Oldham and songwriter/novelist Willy Vlautin (Richmond Fontaine) and on pedal steel, Tucker Jackson (Minus 5). Vlautin is no stranger to critical acclaim in the UK, enjoying cult success and stellar reviews from the like of Uncut, The Observer, The Times and Q as the frontman of Portland alt-country outfit Richmond Fontaine.

Since the release of The Lost Brothers‘ acclaimed debut album, Trails Of The Lonely, they have kept on the move, calling no place their home. 2013 saw them perform in London on the same bill as Bob Dylan and Van Morrison, they opened the main stage at this summer’s Electric Picnic festival, and they have been busy in Nashville recording with Brendan Benson of the Raconteurs.
