Our Take

Kevin Devine's latest offering, "Instigator," is like that one mate who always brings the party. With the energy of the Arctic Monkeys and the lyrical depth of Bob Dylan, Devine delivers a truly unique listening experience.

From the opening track "No Why," you can tell that this album is going to be a ride. Devine's raw vocals and emotive lyrics draw you in, as he sings about love, loss, and finding yourself in a world that often feels like it's falling apart. The melodies are infectious, the guitars are gritty, and the overall sound is nothing short of phenomenal.

Standout tracks like "Magic Magnet" and "Daydrunk" showcase Devine's ability to blend catchy hooks with deep, introspective lyrics. The instrumentation is top-notch, with a perfect balance between rock 'n' roll grit and heartfelt balladry.

One notable aspect of the album is Devine's fearlessness in tackling difficult subjects, such as mental health and social justice. Tracks like "No One Says You Have To" and "Before You're Here" offer a poignant look at these issues, without ever feeling preachy or heavy-handed.

Overall, "Instigator" is a triumph for Kevin Devine. With its infectious melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and fearless exploration of tough subjects, this album is sure to resonate with listeners for years to come. So do yourself a favour and give it a listen. You'll thank us later.
