Seeing as it's still my Birthday Weekend (this event happens to last all weekend), I'm going to be out pretty late tonight, so once again, I'm posting in the wee-hours of the morning (10:02 am). So, welcome to another Album Of The Week post on Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice.
Lonely People Of The World, Unite! - Devin Davis (March 15th, 2005)
This week's album of the week is Lonely People Of The World, Unite! by the very talented, and seemingly not-so fecund at the moment, Devin Davis. Mr.Davis has created a wonderful album, full of spastic, yet controlled songs (a la the 1960's) that still sound rather polished despite the variety of different instruments going off wherever they wish. He is a native of Clinton, Iowa but now resides in Chicago, Illinois. He is also currently recording/writing his new album, which you can expect a full review of as soon as it comes out.
It was actually my brother Jonathon who got me into Devin Davis, all those years ago, driving to and from Assumption. I immediately fell in love with the catchy melodies, hooks, and sheer honesty in Mr.Davis' voice. I've completely adored this album since Grade Six, which was about two years ago, and I still listen to it on a regular basis. Listen to a couple tracks from the album, and tell me what you think. These three are my favorite tracks.
