There’s no denying the Delines’ cult-hero pedigree. Featuring former Richmond Fontaine members Sean Oldham, Freddy Trujillo and Willy Vlautin and Damnations vocalist Amy Boone, the Portland-based quintet certainly qualifies as an Americana supergroup—one that’s found a passionate fanbase over the past decade, particularly in Europe and among the British press. “The Haunting Thoughts” is the […]
Consider this your formal introduction to Frollen Music Library, a sample library and production house out of Melbourne, Australia, that creates organic, sample-based productions and compositions for TV and film. FML’s Darvid Thor, Henry Jenkins and Hudson Whitlock are part of a vibrant indie-soul/R&B community that includes Karate Boogaloo, Surprise Chef, the Pro-Teens and other acts you’ve likely never heard of.

As a member of fun., he’d cowritten the ridiculously catchy 2013 hit “We Are Young”—and paid the price for unleashing the ubiquitous Song Of The Year on an unsuspecting public. The band that appeared to be having so much, eh, fun onstage that February evening wouldn’t make another album. The Best New Artist curse strikes again.
