Devotion really is a terrific album and never falters once.
There’s a fraught tension running through Devotion and it’s effective in creating genuine atmosphere - it’s just that there’s also the sense that Pale Honey are treading water on an album where they had the platform to make a bigger statement.
The album is a haunting masterpiece – brutally self-aware, raw and menacing but wholly human. Devotion’s strength is not only in melodies, lyrics, production or voice, but everything. It’s clear that every element of this album was meticulously thought out and crafted to perfection.
groovy, sexy, Nordic minimalism. Nelly and Tuva prove that "less is more" in a time of bloated production, special effects, and "features". this is elemental rock and a breath of fresh air.
