Devon Williams "A Tear in the Fabric"

LP (NEW) - Vinyl, Slumberland Records, US, 2020, SLR-247, 749846024718, First Issue, w/ Printed Insert

Devon Williams' fourth album, A Tear In The Fabric, released on 1 May 2020 via Slumberland Records, is widely regarded as a meticulously crafted blend of power pop, new wave, and jangle rock. Critics frequently highlight its "luxurious" sound and the six-year labor of love that went into its production, marked by Williams' obsessive "tweaking and prodding" of the material. The album was six years in the making, a period during which Williams navigated major life events, including the birth of his daughter and the death of his father. Critics noted a shift from his earlier DIY jangle-rock toward a "shiniest pop" aesthetic. Influences cited include The Cure, The The, The Church, and Aztec Camera.
