Kevin Devine Appreciation
There’s something mysterious and beautiful about it. It’s passionate without being cloying, deeply felt without being obvious, well-arranged without being over the top, and amateurish in aspects of its performance without being poorly played. It feels dreamt but present, not absently like a pretty soundscape or something similar. It’s lucid but hallucinatory…I think his lyrics are beautiful and strange. They’re abstract but somehow totally, almost invasively, relatable; they’re surreal and oddly sexual/violent at turns, but also really lovely. Literally sensual, as in obsessed with the senses. They’re like these patient, deliberate sets of waves, row after row. Something in them feels massive and elemental. Hard to explain, but not hard to feel.
