“It reminds me of back when we were starting out before we were even the Deslondes—back when we were the Tumbleweeds,” John James Tourville said of the new album. “It’s like we’re moving forward to get to where we were.”

The Deslondes’ Dan Cutler on “Lies I’ve Told”

Deslondes’ bassist/vocalist Dan Cutler penned “Lies I’ve Told” after a storm hit New Orleans. He spoke about the inspiration for the song in a statement.

“A few years back, there was a hurricane named Zeta that came through New Orleans,” Cutler shared in a statement. “As with all hurricanes, there was the feeling of doom and reckoning that accompanied its arrival. Zeta was a little different, though, in that it passed directly over the city. The eye settled over my neighborhood right at dusk,” he recalled. “The clouds parted for about half an hour to reveal a beautiful sunset. The power was out so I walked around for a bit and the streets were empty, there was debris everywhere. It was very still and beautiful, also eerie and apocalyptic. I went home and wrote this Omega Man-themed love song.”
