Our Take
Our Take
DEVO's latest album, Art Devoin, is a whimsical and zany exploration into the world of avant-garde synth-pop. With their trademark quirky lyrics and energetic beats, this album is a testament to the band's lasting influence on the music industry.
From the opening track "Devolution Revolution," DEVO takes listeners on a wild ride through a sonic landscape that is both nostalgic and futuristic. The innovative use of electronic instruments and eccentric vocal delivery create a sound that is uniquely their own.
Tracks like "Robot Rock" and "Spudboy" showcase the band's ability to blend elements of punk, new wave, and experimental music with infectious melodies that will have you dancing uncontrollably in your living room.
The standout moment on the album, however, is the hauntingly beautiful ballad "Mecha Love." With its dreamy synths and poignant lyrics, this track is a true testament to the band's versatility and musical prowess.
Overall, Art Devoin is a must-listen for any DEVO fan or anyone looking to experience something truly out of the ordinary. With its mix of humor, social commentary, and catchy hooks, this album is a testament to the band's enduring legacy in the world of music. DEVO continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in popular music, and Art Devoin is a shining example of their creative genius.

About the artist
Devo
DEVO: The pioneers of spud rock and masters of quirky new wave antics, DEVO have been delighting and confusing audiences since the 1970s. Hailing from Akron, Ohio, this eccentric quintet first burst onto the music scene with their groundbreaking debut album, "Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are DEVO!" in 1978. With their signature red energy dome hats and futuristic jumpsuits, DEVO quickly became known for their satirical take on consumer culture and de-evolution. Songs like "Whip It" and "Girl U Want" are infectious in their catchy synth hooks and irreverent lyrics, showcasing the band's irrepressible sense of humour. Despite their playful image, DEVO's music is no joke. With a blend of punk, pop, and electronic influences, the band crafted a sound that was both ahead of its time and uniquely their own. Tracks like "Smart Patrol/Mr. DNA" and "Gates of Steel" demonstrate their ability to marry infectious melodies with experimental production techniques. DEVO's influence can be heard in the work of countless artists, from punk rockers to new wave revivalists. Their pioneering use of synthesizers and drum machines set the stage for the electronic music revolution of the 1980s, while their subversive lyrics continue to resonate with audiences today. Despite their long and storied career, DEVO have never lost their sense of playfulness or their willingness to challenge the status quo. In a world where conformity reigns supreme, DEVO remind us to question authority and embrace our individuality. Bow down to the spud rock kings, for DEVO are eternal.
