5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, December 29, 2008

This review is from: Yes U (Dig) (Audio CD)
Great moody, atmospheric cd. Cool sound with a good amount of diversity. Their other two discs have more of a Nick Cave influence -- this disc really seems to show them blossoming into their own sound.

5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful, May 29, 2008

This review is from: Yes U (Dig) (Audio CD)
This is the third album by the Devastations who are from Melbourne, Australia but based in Berlin. Their music is dark, moving, mellow, melancholy, and atmospheric/spacey, with influences from Nick Cave and The Dirty Three and similarities with the Tindersticks, Blonde Redhead, and Velvet Underground.

Black Ice (track 1) uses lots of keyboards and layerings. and Oh me, Oh my (track 2) are spacey and dark. Rosa (track 3) has a Nick Cave style of urgency. The vocals become almost a soft whisper on The Pest (track 4) which has an electronic/spacey feel. Mistakes (track 6) has the feel of a pop song with guitar distortion. The Face of Love (track 7) is another soft track which reminds of Nick Cave. An Avalanche of Stars is spoken more than sung, and reminds of Arab Strap or Yo La Tengo.
