Our Take

KEVIN DEVINE's latest album "Instigator" is like a rollercoaster ride through the mind of a musical madman. With a sound that is equal parts indie rock and emo, Devine takes listeners on a journey that is equal parts introspective and explosive.

The album kicks off with the energetic track "No Why", a song that sets the tone for what's to come. Devine's voice is both haunting and powerful, soaring over intricate guitar riffs and pounding drums. It's a track that grabs you by the ears and refuses to let go.

As the album progresses, Devine delves deeper into the themes of heartbreak, loss, and redemption. Tracks like "Magic Magnet" and "Daydrunk" showcase his ability to combine heartfelt lyrics with infectious melodies, creating songs that stick with you long after the music stops.

But it's not all serious introspection on "Instigator". Devine shows off his quirky sense of humour on tracks like "Both Ways" and "No One Says You Have To". These songs add a playful element to the album, reminding listeners that music can be fun as well as thought-provoking.

Overall, "Instigator" is a triumph for Kevin Devine. It's an album that showcases his talent as both a musician and a songwriter, and proves that he is a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. So grab a copy, turn up the volume, and let yourself be swept away by the brilliance of "Instigator".
