Yes U (You)

Devastations formed in Melbourne in 2002, but left the continent several years back, and currently reside in whichever European city will host them – most often Berlin.

‘Yes, U’ is the first album recorded for the label. Recorded in Berlin with Jeremy Glover and mixed in New York City with Chris Coady (Blonde Redhead, TV on the Radio), it still hints at spiritual predecessors like Serge Gainsbourg and the Velvet Underground. But it also brings to mind thornier cosmopolitans such as Suicide, Scott Walker, and Yoko Ono. It also marks the emergence of a counter-sensibility inspired by Grace Jones and Italo-Disco pioneer Giorgio Moroder.
