专辑介绍
《Push the Heart》是一次革命性的新尝试，为团体寻找出更多元素更另类的音乐风格，这无疑是Devis的另一个高点。
On their fourth full-length album, Devics don't stray far from their usual ethereal piano-plus-sampler, late-night vibe. Sara Lov again provides the majority of the vocals, her voice coming across as a restrained blend of Hope Sandoval, Mary Timony, and Kristin Hersh while offering up tales of love, lies, and loss. Lov's instrument is certainly lulling, but not that distinctive, especially within the confines of Dustin O'Halloran's shoegazer-like audio web. Too often, O'Halloran layers in the same cooing background hum, to the point where the album nearly devolves into an aural bout of coffee-table lethargy. With many of the songs rolling along at a slow drizzle, only the Mum-like "Secret Message to You," with its typewriter sound effect glitch, and the fractured "Just One Breath" really pick up steam. "Distant Radio," in theme and execution, travels a bit too far into Mojave 3 mimicry but lacks the bombast that put that group over the top. O'Halloran's deeper vocal contributions are a nice contrast, but can't match the subtlety or texture of influences like Leonard Cohen or Richard Hawley. Album closer "Come Up" is particularly pretty. Still, one gets the sense that this is an album recorded with white gloves, and the calculation behind the tunes is nearly tangible. With more variation, more separation in the mix, and a bit more conviction and passion overall, Push the Heart would be easier to recommend. As it stands, it's just a slightly-better-than-average indie chamber pop excursion. ~ Tim DiGravina Tracks: Lie To Me, A Secret Message To You, Salty Seas, Song For A Sleeping Girl, Distant Radio, Just One Breath, Moments, If We Cannot See, City Lights, Come Up. Devics: Sara Lov (vocals); Pall A. Jenkins (guitar); Dustin O'Halloran (guitars, piano); Ed Maxwell (bass guitar); Michael Jerome Moore, Scott McPherson (drums). Uncut (p.90) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Inhabiting the same last-dance ballroom as Portishead's noir torch songs, this monument to ennui is prettily impressive."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.94) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Devics deal in tender, expansive songcraft characterised by languorous, slightly baroque arrangements, aching melodies and pensive, confessional lyrics."
