A red head albino

The Delines - Mr. Luck & Ms. Doom (2025) **

Nominated by: GK

Music club: Wander to Wozza's

Playlist addition: Mr. Luck & Ms. Doom

As I have mentioned before: I'm a daaay person. The Delines trade in doom and depression and there will be audience for this low life world view (it's a reality for many - I get that) but it can be depressing subject matter over the course of a whole album. 

The darkness left me cold: missing persons, missing teeth and missing fingers; pimps and darkness; abandoned people in life's margins. And poor Lorraine (she cops it on this album). Not a lot of light at the end of the Deline tunnel.

Enough already! 

Although, musically, I had a lot to admire. The genre is either alt country (her voice positions them here) or Americana (the music is a folk/country/tex-mex hybrid). Genres that appeal to me generally, although I'm more of a country rock kind of guy. The brass is used judiciously throughout, and the pace is easy on the ear, albeit mournful on occasion. 

It also has an excellent cover.

I can't think of too much to say really. GK loves this stuff and good on him! I'm sure he won't mind if I sit this one out.
