The Delines The Delines are led by vocalist Amy Boone, alongside the keyboard work of Jenny Conlee-Drizos (The Decemberists) as well as fellow Portlanders Sean Oldham, Freddie Trujillo, and Willy Vlautin (Richmond Fontaine) and Tucker Jackson (The Minus 5) on pedal steel. Vlautin is no stranger to critical acclaim in the US, UK, and Europe, enjoying cult success and rave reviews from the likes of the New York Times, Uncut, Hot Press, and Q Magazine both as a novelist and as the front man of alt-country outfit Richmond Fontaine. The seeds for Colfax were sown in 2012 when Vlautin, so beguiled by Boone’s heartbreakingly longing yet resilient voice, wrote an album-worth of songs and built a band around her. Recorded at Flora Recording and Playback and produced with John Askew (Dodos, Alela Diane) in Portland, Oregon, Colfax tells haunting, modern stories through the musical lens of soul and roots music of decades past.
