The Devils

Tangerine Boy

Nowhere

from Shindig! Magazine

The third album proper from these Paris-based psych troubadours is a huge leap forward from 2016's 'Stranger' - and that was a pretty great record to start with.

But from the first clanging chords of 'Sanitise Me' It's clear this is next level stuff. Nick Wheeldon sounds desperately haunted, howling over reverb-laden gothic blues like some unholy collision of Nick Cave and The Yardbirds.

While the garage-surf sound of old is still at this record's heart, sprung organ, pedal steel and violin add depth and a folk-country feel that is raw, ragged but always elegantly wasted.

Distilling influences from the The Seeds to The Triffids, the furious, fuzz drenched two minutes of 'A Man Needs A Home' sits next to the gospel-tinged 'The Day We Touched The Sun' and the simple romantic beauty of 'Come Back to Me'.

Souful and sexy, SILENCE KILLS may turn out to be a record for the ages.

8/10
