He’s unearthed these tales of castaway truths and once-faded recollections for \u003cem\u003eLandfill Poetry\u003c\/em\u003e, a sophomore solo album and Oh Boy Records debut. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA native of small-town Missouri who once worked as a backroad trashman before becoming one of music’s weathered journeymen, the husky-voiced Downing may be best known as a member of noisemaking Americana outfit The Deslondes, a New Orleans-born band that he co-founded after a clandestine meeting with likeminded musicians at a folk festival in Oklahoma.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn \u003cem\u003eLandfill Poetry\u003c\/em\u003e, his six-string worldbuilding takes listeners to the back of the trash truck (“Landfill Poetry”), inside the lonely hours of the graveyard paycheck (“Night Shift”) and to the quiet moments after a hard day of work (“Porch Song”). He sings for the restless ones who stay up way too late (“Hay Hay Hay”) and the grandchildren who admire a hard-working compassion once shared between late loved ones (“Helen \u0026amp; Gene”). With each song, Downing uncovers sketches of life that once might’ve been lost to the landfill but instead are shared anew.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oh Boy Records","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":57695613878603,"sku":"R7169-0439","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/2000x2000bb_fad32632-57d5-4cf2-90d6-94f518f3d087.jpg?v=1782545455","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/landfill-poetry","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
