Sara and Dustin met in college and after discovering their love for music, they decided to form a band, the "DEVICS."
Starting from Los Angeles, they arrived in Italy and stayed here for a year or perhaps forever. Falling in love with our land, wine, and food, they settled in a farmhouse in Romagna and there they recorded "The stars of saint andrea," dedicated to a place called Sant'Andrea.
Today, February 17, 2006 (magic of the web), "Push the heart," their third album, is released, usual PORTISHEAD influences and also a bit of BLACK HEART PROCESSION, sensual and nocturnal music, capable of touching the heart and making us dream. The charm of the Devics lies in their tender and immediate melodies, instruments that seem like toys create seductive atmospheres, the languid voice of Sara Lov whispers words that directly touch the soul.
"Push the heart" is perhaps even more delicate than "Stars of saint Andrea," but it carries within it the same beauty, the sunsets inspiring our friends are now no longer those of California but those of our hills, and some differences can be felt. "Lie to me," piano and moog used in an unconventional way open the album, "A secret message to you" begins with the sound of a typewriter following the entire track, contributing to creating a distance between Sara and the listener, "Salty seas" starts with a duet between piano and guitar and when the voice comes in, I assure you it's an emotion, "Distant radio" is a small gem with a very sexy voice, "Moments" is one of the most intense moments, the piano duets with Sara sweetly and erotically, "If we cannot see" opens with Dustin's voice which later joins with Sara, epic, "Come up" closes the album, one of the most beautiful pieces.
It's difficult to capture in words the depth and intensity that "Push the heart" manages to deliver, emotions follow one another endlessly, magical atmospheres and shivers on the skin... may the stars of Sant'Andrea always illuminate their sky and may their sky always reflect the same light back to us, for now everything is clearer...
Masterpiece!
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
02 A Secret Message to You (04:58)
This is what I made
Made it just for you
It's better than a letter
I'm sending it to you
It is made of wood
Mud and salt and glue
I wanted to build it big
And sail away with you
This is where the wood
Started to get loose
And this is where I painted little deer
A secret message to you
It's tiny sail that I cut from a magazine
With the letters of your name
I want to see it go
It wishes it was in the sea tonight
And I weighed it with an anchor
Just an eraser
It is really much too small to use
I ran out glue
You could put it in the water
And pretend that I am there with you
Sailing in the sea together
Me and you...
06 Just One Breath (03:55)
He's all I know
And I know he needs me
Lips are a shore
Through a mouth into sea
Cause it makes no sense
To walk in the dark
Again and again
So I push the heart
It's alright though
I could let go
With just one breath
I could wait there under water
Until the moment I release into air
He's all I have
All I have in my mind
Wings are a path
On a back into sky
Then you circle above
Just to frame the view
And it makes no sense
But it’s clear to you
It's alright though
I could let go
With just one breath
I could wait there under water
Until the moment I release into air
09 City Lights (03:58)
here, here
let’s just stay here
you should love me here
here, here
let’s just stay here
I should love you dear
When the wind comes
And the sun again my love
I’ll be here
I found a way true
In silence with you
What do you hear
And what do you want to hear
Here, here
Get me out of here
Wake me under city lights
An apple and a kiss on my ear
Fly like days
Let time erase
All our mistakes
I found a way true
In silence with you
What do you hear
And what do you want to hear
