Willy Vlautin announces Richmond Fontaine’s final chapter –
“We all wanted to make one more record after The High Country. Our founding member, Dave Harding moving with his family to Denmark stopped us for a long while, but we were dead set on one more. I wrote You Can’t Go Back… to give an end piece for all the characters who inhabited the world of Richmond Fontaine over the years. Throughout the new record are hints of past RF albums and nods to past locations that the characters had found themselves in, and always they’re drifting and searching, hoping for a decent place to land. In the end they try to go back home where they were when Richmond Fontaine first began. It’s where the characters started and now where they’ll end. RF has had a great 20 + year run and these guys are my best pals so it’s a tough decision but the right one. We’ll tour this record for as long as we can and then we’ll a have a knock down drag-out party, wake up with a hangover, and move on.”
The new album is out this March and they have a European tour kicking off on April 3rd in Stockholm plus will have NW US dates announced soon
