New York-based songwriter and musician Kevin Devine has released his highly anticipated tenth album, Nothing’s Real, So Nothing’s Wrong via Triple Crown Records. Listen to the album now below and catch Kevin Devine live this spring with support from Pronoun, Kississippi and Kayleigh Goldsworthy. Tour dates kick off on Aril 6th – tickets can be purchased HERE.
Over the eleven tracks, Devine aims to preserve himself as he wrestles with existential questions amidst immense struggle and collapsing societal systems. Produced by longtime collaborator Chris Bracco, the expansive work is an eclectic mix of orchestral acoustic indie, lo-fi psych-folk, and melodic guitar pop. Devine manages to brilliantly strike a delicate balance between being intimate while vast, personal while universal, and discouraged yet hopeful as he aspires to re-imagine something bigger and believes in something better.
By digging deep into his own humanity after a tumultuous few years, Devine is able to examine the darkest corners and brightest lights of the human condition, and in turn uncover more of his artistry like never before. “‘Nothing’s Real, So Nothing’s Wrong’ is a grown-up break-up record, for strugglers by a struggler.” says Devine. “It’s a record about fatherhood written during a pandemic. It’s a kitchen-sink 10th album pivot, painstakingly brought to life by two career-long collaborators and their shared and split obsessions. Lyrically evocative, excavating and unflinching without irresponsibly printing your journals.”
