Devics
The Stars At Saint Andrea

THE REVIEW

Waking up in time to see the sun rise over the Californian hills, then turning your gaze to the endless ocean.

Is this the magnificent Red Morning that the Devics speak of? Certainly, such a scenario could lend itself to their music, a continuous, melancholic reflection on missed opportunities, on vanished loves.
Great importance is given in the lyrics to that precise moment, to that precise place where everything could have changed, and instead...

Simple ballads, characterized by sparse, minimalist beats. Penetrating basslines. And above all, the magnificent voice of Sara Loy.

Essential music, with hints of electronics that might remind you of Yo La Tengo, and sometimes Portishead, and some even say Black Heart Procession.

If you want to enjoy your sadness, right now you won't find a better soundtrack. A twilight album.

PS Sant'Andrea is an Italian location where the Devics recorded the album, but no one knows where it is...
