This is a GREAT RECORD that many of you would surely enjoy. Just found out he recorded these songs on his own over the course of the last 4-5 years or so. Sweet fuzz-tone as well !
"Inspired by the great classic rock albums of the sixties ( such as Revolver and The Kinks - Village Green) where song lengths averaged 2-3 minutes and album playing times rarely exceeded 40 minutes, Davis labored to streamline his songs down to the bare essential parts, cutting away ponderous instrumental sections in favor of concise rock statements. The songs evolve quickly (both lyrically and structurally) and move forward without lapses in momentum; this 'less is more' approach resulting in an album with little or no gaps between songs and a running time of 36 minutes. Song styles are also refreshingly varied within sequence with heavy stomping guitar anthems followed by quieter folk numbers. Many songs experience abrupt stylish shifts within themselves from Dylan inspired stream of consciousness to fuzzed out Neutral Milk Hotel bliss-rock. All of the homages are wrapped up together into a uniquely cohesive whole by Devin's peculiar brand of lyrics and songwriting, which along with the strong production, makes "Lonely people of The World, Unite!" stand up against any commercially produced album of the last decade."
