***American Devices are the best Montreal has to offer and have been since 1979. As once put by esteemed string strangler Chris Burns: The pairing of Trembles / Labelle guitar stylings rank up there with Reed / Morrison, Quine / Julian, Verlaine / Lloyd, Thunders / Sylvain, Ivy / Gregory, Ivy / Powers, Moore / Ranaldo, Young / Whitten, Leary / Haynes, Mercer / Million or any of the Beefheart duos. These 2 new tunes are the Devices in top form, widdled by time to the essential 4-part unit. Both songwriters deliver in their respective lanes, and the rhythm section kicks the can along with inventive gusto. In a warped world, American Devices oeuvre would be life bending fodder for international bonehead punks, b-movie fanatics and prog nerds alike, but in this reality, they are banished to a profitless deal on the world's least respected underground records label. Lucky for us, misery loves company. Hand-stamped edition of 200 copies.
