Devolver

Ryan Adams

Jagged guitars and driving drum machines meet 1980s post-punk urgency. A restless, lo-fi pivot away from Americana into gritty, suburban rock.

It’s Ryan Adams doing his best 80s basement post-punk impression with a drum machine.

A twitchy, paranoid energy that feels like a neon-lit city street at 3 AM.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sharp, staccato guitar riff on 'Alien USA' that sounds like a transmission from a 1982 pirate radio station.
The claustrophobic, driving rhythm of 'Banging on My Head' that ends abruptly before it can resolve.
The surprisingly melodic synth-pop undertones that surface during the chorus of 'Eyes on the Door'.
