Hailing from Arkansas, the Arkansas Times deemed them Russellville’s purveyors of overpoweringly earnest, heart-on-sleeve indie-pop”, while Amplifier asks “Are we primed for another indie rock revolution?” and Sidelines says Deas Vail nailed it!”. Deas Vail is – Wes Blaylock – Vocals, Keys, Laura Blaylock – Keys, Synth, Wes Saunders – Drums, Andy Moore- Guitar and Justin Froning- Bass.

Following up their 2009 release Bird’s & Cages the new album is 12 songs that rise with edgy urgency and impassioned hope, filled  with sweeping melodies and textured layers of guitars and keyboards fronted by singer Wes Blaylock’s wailing vocals match only by the band’s poetic songwiting.
