THE SET UP (CLEAR VINYL)

Today, The Delines announce their new album The Set Up due out 6th March via Decor Record. The Delines were finishing the Mr. Luck and Ms. Doom sessions when Willy brought in a tune called "Walking With His Sleeves Down". Amy learned it on piano and we recorded it live. Her take was stunning but the song didn''''t quite fit the record so they set it aside along with "The Reckless Life", "Dilaudid Diane" (featured in their recent encores) and "Jumping off in Madras". The song worked sonically but again didn''''t feel quite right lyrically and when they finished the record Willy couldn''''t stop writing songs for it. The US opioid epidemic with thousands of young people rattled with addiction and living in tents and on the streets and in old cars and RVs, influenced Luck and Doom but even more so with The Set Up.
