As the Deslondes look ahead to their forthcoming album Roll It Out, the band are taking a moment to reflect, releasing the nostalgic new single 'Take Me Back.'
"When you’re in the middle of wrapping up an album," the band's Sam Doores shares, "it’s easy to get lost in the details & deadlines and lose sight of the footsteps, friends & experiences that brought you to where you’re at and what you’re working on."
'Take Me Back' offers the group a chance to look back over their last 15 years together, how far they've come and where they're headed. The jaunty new tune brims with nostalgia, those sun-soaked "good ol' days", and plants listeners right there with the group as they reminisce.
The accompanying music video, directed by Joshua Shoemaker, features the band throughout the years, rifling through more than a decade's worth of unearthed footage.
Doores recalls: "When Joshua Shoemaker told me he had just unearthed a bunch of footage from wayyyy back in the day, I agreed that would suit the song perfectly. I’m very grateful to Joshua for taking all of this footage in the first place and now for dusting it all off. The video brings back so many fond memories of our early years coming together as a band and I’m proud to say that we all still love making music & laughing together.”
“This band feels like the old family farm,” Doores adds. “It’s a place where we can meet for the Fourth of July, bring our families, grill some burgers, and make some music together. It’s always going to be there, and we know it’s going to work and feel good.”
Set for a Sept. 6 release, Roll It Out itself is set to capture the same feeling as the group rekindle the energy of their early days. “It reminds me of back when we were starting out, before we were even the Deslondes—back when we were the Tumbleweeds," the band's John James Tourville offers of the upcoming album. "It’s like we’re moving forward to get to where we were.”
The Deslondes will embark on a tour in support of the effort that begins June 28 and sees them through the end of the year.
