On their site, Devics name-drop Johnny Cash, Arab Strap, Iron and Wine, and Sparklehorse. If those bands float your boat, chances are you’ll be happy you found Devics.
Oceanographer
Was Panda, now Oceanographer. Part New York, part Texas…and by
Texas I mean good Texas. Warm, melodic, deliberate.
Kid Dakota
Wonderfully lonesome lyrics delivered over vast, taut soundtracks.
Spokane
Spokane slow things down to reveal the fragile melody and uncomfortable detail of people trying to get along.
Ill Lit
Melancholic folk-tronica with an emphasis on the folk and the rubble of lo-fi electronics.
Calla
A sampling of favorites from 2003. Beautiful, haunting, and so NYC.
