Kevin Devine Band • Page 35

I actually own this record on vinyl but never listened to it after I purchased it..

I randomly thought about this comment earlier this week and decided to take a break from my Weezer binge to listen, and wow I feel dumb for skipping out.

 

I like how he decided to do this and I hope more follow suit.

 

This isn't new, right?

 

This song is. This and the closer are new

 

theres a new song

 

I think it’s awesome that Kevin has kept up putting songs on bandcamp, working on a new record and doing the Patreon deal for those who have that. Impressive.

 

There are 2 new songs in addition to the 3 that were released last fall. and it’s being released on vinyl.

I believe this is to tide over until a full
Length is released in late 2021/early 2022.

 

I was originally thinking the album would be out earlier because he posted stuff about recording, but Kevin’s also been really good at leaving updates for fans. Sounds like he’s got a bunch of songs and I’m glad he’s releasing stuff pre album to bridge the gap.

 

Kinda wild we're looking at a 5+ year gap between albums by the time the next one is out.

 

You’re right, but we did get Bad Books III a couple years ago too. That record has top quality KD songs.

 

Yeah no doubt. Its just a significant gap for someone who has been so prolific throughout his career. Sounds as though he's had a lot of personal stuff going on since Instigator came out so it's not surprising that the music has been on the back burner (relatively speaking).

 

sure. But he’s released a lot in between 2016 (instigator) and 2022 (new album)

We are who we’ve always been (2017)
bad books 3 (2019)
Devinyl splits 2 (2018-2019)
No ones waiting up for me (2020)
Out in the ether (2020-2021), which is basically a double-album with all the reimagined and cover songs.

he’s still pretty prolific in releasing stuff, but you’re right that it’s not all original new stuff.

 

I was going to say the same sort of thing. Also he had some Kenny O stuff and put that project together and he appears on lots of compilations and such.

I feel like there was a point he was going to pull back on full lengths when he was going go to be the additional touring guitarist with BN, but that never worked out for obvious reasons.

 

Got a copy of this dude's new EP in the post as part of my Big Scary Monsters sub - don't want it so someone who's interested can pick it up off me instead I guess?

 

Sure, I'll take it. DM?

 

All There Is Now has a haunting cool sound.

 

yoooo

 

awesomee

 

I’m looking forward to this. I hope the album is a bit all over the place to suit the song. Also, Albatross seems like it could be awesome.
