The Devlins return with their evocative new single, “Slipping Through Your Hands,” a track that seamlessly blends the introspective depth of their past work with an infectious major-key melody.
For Colin Devlin “Slipping Through Your Hands” is probably a note to one’s self. “An inner dialogue about time passing, looking back and reconnecting to who you once were and where you came from, through the lens of the present.”
I was not the master of your fate, I was not the author of your dreams
I see faces I had once forgotten, they appear like ghosts in the headlights
“It feels like a movie to me with the atmospheric minor bass riff and drums setting the scene for the 90 seconds or so, before it opens into the big chorus. It’s one of the strongest songs from the new Devlins record and we hope old and new fans alike will gravitate towards it both musically and lyrically.”
All The Days is the eagerly anticipated new album marking the band’s first full-length project almost a decade after their critically acclaimed album, Waves. All The Days brings together the classic lineup of brothers Colin (vocals, guitar, piano) and Peter Devlin(bass), drummer Guy Rickarby and guitarist Mark Murphy, with producer Rob Kirwan (Hozier, PJ Harvey, Depeche Mode) at the helm.
The Devlins have captivated audiences worldwide with their cinematic hits and magnetic live performances since their debut. All The Days features 11 new tracks that showcase their intricate songwriting and solid rhythms, presenting a fresh sound for modern rock fans. The quartet will play a hometown live show at Whelans in Dublin, Ireland on October 24, 2024.
The Devlins last toured in 2019 and at their sold-out show in Dublin, they hinted at new music on the horizon. However, it was the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic that ultimately brought the four members together again to create All The Days. The album, a testament to the band’s resilience and artistic evolution, is set to resonate deeply with both longtime fans and new listeners alike.
The Devlins, formed by brothers Colin and Peter Devlin, released their debut album Drift in 1993 to critical acclaim, earning a four-star review in Rolling Stone. The title track of their 1997 follow-up album, Waiting was used for the Six Feet Under soundtrack. Another hit, “World Outside,” was featured in HBO’s The Sopranos and the 2004 drama Closer.
The band’s music has been a staple in film and tv throughout their career, including “Crossing The River” being part of the Batman Forever multi-platinum selling soundtrack. This widespread exposure has helped cement The Devlins’ reputation for creating evocative and cinematic music.
