Alright, I\u2019ll be the first to say it. Devin Davis<\/b> is the new John Vanderslice. Luckily he\u2019s stopped playing solo and brought a band with him to fully capture the simple genius in his songs. His recent album \u201cLonely People of the World, Unite!\u201d was one of the gems of 2005. Although it may have the assumption an album full of misery and isolation, instead it\u2019s full of intuitive quirky songs that do a great job of telling fantastic stories. At some points becoming exclamations of how wonderful trivial life is. His song titles quickly capture the unique lyrics contained within and sometimes the very surreal journey the song goes to.
\nDevin Davis live is yet another dimension. He looks exactly what you would think of but his demeanor is a fa\u00e7ade for the energetic show he put on. He played his introspective songs delicately and completely rocked out his heavier numbers. Although not that many people were at the show, he played his heart out and I was glad he played his wide range of melodies. Devin Davis is a becoming a distinguishable song writer who can also full realize the sounds floating around his head. He\u2019s also not afraid to experiment and have fun with the indie music, which sometime includes his theremin.<\/p>\n
