2008, Beggars Banquet
Devastations are three guys from Melbourne, Australia via Europe (mostly Berlin but sometimes London or 'L'Undone' as they say in their own unique coinage). They are Tom Carlyon (guitar, vocals), Conrad Standish (bass, vocals) and Hugo Cran (drums). Yes, U was recorded in Berlin with Jeremy Glover and mixed in NYC with Chris Coady (Blonde Redhead, TV on the Radio). It hints at spiritual predecessors like Serge Gainsbourg and the Velvet Underground but also brings to mind thornier cosmopolitans such as Suicide, Scott Walker and Yoko Ono. At heart, Yes, U is a fashionable discotheque with enough ideas to kindle the fires of the mind. Now you know!
