The Devlins` fourth full-length is designed for lovesick dreamers. Is it any
wonder their music has been popping up in such dark-tinged productions as
HBO`s Six Feet Under ("Waiting") or Mike Nichols` Oscar-nominated Closer
("World Outside," also from 1997s Waiting)? As Colin Devlin sings in
"Someday," "Someday you`ll find your place in time." A similar sense of
longing permeates the entire moody, melodic enterprise. Colin, who also
handles guitar duties, is joined by brother Peter on bass and Guy Rickarby
on drums. Based in Dublin, the Devlins don`t sound like any other Irish
group that comes to mind (although they do resemble a few Scottish ones,
like the Blue Nile ). At times on Waves, however, they evoke another
notable sibling duo, New Zealand`s Finn Brothers (Neil and Tim from Split
Enz and Crowded House), but their sound is smoother, more subdued. Waves
was engineered by Danton Supple of Coldplay fame. "The sound fall in
line with a number of similar guitar-pop duo records released in the past
few years with the Finn Brothers, BoDeans and The Cash Brothers immediately
coming to mind"-PopCulturePress.
