Produktbeschreibung

Kevine Devine demonstriert auf Album Nummer 9 mit jeder Note seine ausgeprägte Vielseitigkeit und musikalische Vielschichtigkeit, und das sehr sicher und geschickt. Seine Songs sind egreifend und wirklich großartig. Egal ob es Rocksongs sind, die an seine Indieband Miracle of 86 erinnern oder die eher Leisen und zurückgenommenen Singer/Songwriter Songs. Produziert von John Agnello (Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr.) Big Scary Monsters present Instigator by Kevin Devine due for release on the 21st October 2016. Produced by John Agnello (Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr.), Instigator is Kevin Devine's ninth full-length album and comes on the heels of a busy few years: In addition to recording two albums with Bad Books (the indie-rock supergroup he formed with members of Manchester Orchestra), he released the Kickstarter-funded double-album collection Bubblegum and Bulldozer in 2013 along with the wildly ambitious 2015 Devinyl Splits 7" series with the likes of Brand New's Jesse Lacey, Perfect Pussy's Meredith Graves and Nada Surf's Matthew Caws. Devine is a master storyteller, and he imbues Instigator - from the biting power-pop of "Both Ways" to the angular "Guard Your Gates" & gorgeously finger-picked "No One Says You Have To" - with intricate details and often-uncomfortable truths. Their meanings are personal, but their themes are universal. It's a skill that makes both his albums and his live show so alluring: Even when Devine's writing about the world at large, he's pointing a mirror back at himself. When Devine's past lives meet his present-day self on the career-defining "I Was Alive Back Then," the beautiful duality of his art takes center stage: Life is never all peril or perfection, a country ripped apart by war and social injustice or the joy of holding your child for the first time. The extremes might be easier to define, but it's in the middle where life really happens.
