“If the title Broken Into Better Shape sounds like a dig at drummer Tim Arnold, who took leave from Good Old War during the writing process for this album, rest assured that it isn’t. Arnold hasn’t actually cut ties with his partners. The drummer’s “DNA” and “fingerprints” remain on several of the songs that made the final cut and, while remaining members Keith Good- win and Dan Schwartz convened with a host of guest musicians in Nash- ville to fill-out their sound in the wake of Arnold’s departure, he has since re-joined his bandmates as Good Old War’s touring drummer. Nevertheless, Broken Into Better Shape heralds a host of changes in the band’s sound and approach. Easily the most fleshed-out and fully arranged of Good Old War’s material to date, Broken Into Better Shape sees Goodwin and Schwartz embracing pop on a scale they’d barely scraped on their previous three studio albums. Although Goodwin and Schwartz do touch on several life setbacks lyri- cally, producer Jason Lehning (Alison Krause, Dolly Parton) subsumes any remaining traces of the pair’s indie quirk in favor of radio-friendly production polish. Clearly, Goodwin and Schwartz set out on a search for change, opening up their writing to collaborations with song-doctors-for-hire like Zimbabwan-born urban producer T-Collar and co-writer Emile Haynie (fun., Bruno Mars). At the end of the day, though, it’s hard to argue with Good Old War’s ability to combine the power of hook and sentiment. “Tell Me What You Want From Me,” for example, immediately touches on a universal feeling that makes the song’s acoustic-strummed drive and stomp-clap groove all the more galvaniz- ing. The graduation from the ranks of indie-pop to full-blown pop can be traumatic for a band’s followers, and Broken Into Better Shape will no doubt throw fans who were drawn to Good Old War’s folkish tendencies. By the same token, as a document of an artist consciously attempting to connect with a broader audience while also stretching its palette, Broken Into Better Shape certainly compensates with texture and refinement that were lacking in Good Old War’s coffeehouse-style production values in the past.” - Diffuser.fm, July 4 2015 On The Deslondes self-titled album...

“It’s hard to think of a more charming phrase to use in the chorus of a song than “today I fought the blues and I won,” but there’s no shortage of charm on this debut by the Deslondes. If you’re searching for traditional honky tonk and country swing, you’re in good hands. In fact, by their own description, the New Orleans quintet transports the listener to a sweaty, creaky-floored Louisiana dance hall via shuffling rhythms and dusty twang spiked with fiddle and pedal steel. The Deslondes switch effortlessly from slow-dancers to foot- stompers and everything in-between, and the album’s mix places them at a slight distance within a space large enough that it’s easy to close your eyes and imagine you’re listening to the house band at an old-time dance. Moreover, the band’s four singer-songwriters dig into not just the sonics, but the genuine heartache of vintage country music. In doing so, the Deslondes remind us that country and the blues effectively serve as pathways to the same source – i.e: that which stirs within us and, in response to that lonesome feeling that’s always lurking just out- side the window, has no choice but to invite our troubles in for a twirl.” - Diffuser.fm, June 19 2015 Going for adds July 27: Ben Folds “Phone In A Pool”...
