The Stars At Saint Andrea is the beautiful new album from Devics;
dark, atmospheric and moody, this Los Angeles-based quartet imaginatively
weave together a range of instruments and genres in their cinematic
music. Compared to such artists as P.J. Harvey, Portishead, Low
and Delgados, lead singer Sara Lov’s golden voice, along
with co-founder Dustin O’Hallorans’s echo-laden soundscapes,
have seduced West Coast audiences for the past few years with their
sultry, love-forlorn yearnings.
The Stars At Saint Andrea is the fourth LP for the band, but the
first album to be released on current UK label Bella Union (founded
by Simon Raymonde of the Cocteau Twins), and thus the first to
be released outside of the US. So far they have received rapturous
reviews from both sides of the pond, called by NME as “the
finest purveyors of multi-layered gorgeousness since Yo La Tengo.”
