Kevin Devine - Instigator (October 21, 2016) Album • Page 7

I was actually wildly surprised to see Bulldozer so low, not because it's my fav or anything but because usually with these things there's a recency bias. Clocks is too low but it's cool, there's no wrong answer with his discography (or any disco). His thoughts on Bulldozer were interesting in that he feels like it got away from him a little too. I think that's also why I don't go back to it as often, it's not what I was expecting and I still have a weird hang up about it. Shrug.
Shout out to Between the Concrete and Clouds though, glad he likes it even if it's underappreciated. Also I thoroughly enjoy his distinction between pop punk and punk-pop, that's one that makes really good sense to me.

 

Big week

 

I need this record to come out now.

 

wheres the song

 

they normally post new stuff around 2 or 3 I thought

 

Kevin Devine starts something special on new single “Instigator” — listen

 

Fun song.

 

I like

 

pretty straight forward pop rock song. i have a feeling ill enjoy it more in full context with the rest of the album.

 

thumbs up

 

Nice lil song

 

the chord before the last chorus is SO KD haha

 

this is like a nice lil blend of bubblegum and bulldozer, with some shades of all his other stuff here and there. very happy with it

 

I'd vote Bother's Blood too

 

I can get that esp the closer

 

love the new song!

 

No history is up there with Kevin's best. I don't think my jaw will ever not drop at that chorus

 

New record is shaping up well. I think I'll like it a lot. Can't wait to hear the rest

 

No why reminds me of cloud nothing's

 

Sometimes I remember I'm gonna finally get to see him live and I get giddy
I hope I love this record as much as everything else but I am positive I will judging from singles alone

 

he's doin an AMA on /r/music

The time is nigh! I'll likely be chatting with Kevin sometime this week. What kind of questions do y'all have about the new album and his career?

 

Ask him, since he finished the record a while ago and delayed Instigators release for family/practical reasons, has he already started writing new songs?

Also, are there any b-sides or acoustic versions to come out with Instigator? And would he be interested in doing another Devinyl split series? And how can I hear the song he did, "In The Shower, After". I remember it having interesting lyrics that he posted on line.
