Devastations's Biography
It has been a little over two years since the release of the Devastations' acclaimed self-titled debut - an album described by Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs in Mojo magazine as "the best thing I've heard all year", and named the best debut of 2004 by Rolling Stone Germany. The greater part of that time has been spent in Europe, using Berlin as a home base, touring the continent and rubbing shoulders with the likes of Einsturzende Neubauten and the Tindersticks.
And now Devastations - vocalist/bassist Conrad Standish, guitarist/vocalist Tom Carlyon, drummer Hugo Cran and keyboardist Kiernan Box - return with a sophomore effort, Coal, delivering on the promise of their debut, displaying assurance, subtlety and widened scope.
Formed in late 2002, Devastations were from the outset mining a well of their own, preferring understated emotion and veiled menace to the primal strut and bluster of the much-hyped 'new rock' of the time. The critical response to their debut album, released in May 2003, earned the trio Australian supports slots with the Dirty Three, Cat Power, Tindersticks and the Black Heart Procession - but the Devastations always had their sights set further afield.
