The Devlins - All The Days (2024)

The Devlins Return With ‘All The Days’ To Navigate Human Connection.Blue Élan Records have announced the upcoming release of All The Days, a new album from The Devlins, marking the band’s first full-length project almost a decade, following 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 album’s lead single and title track, is out now, and sets the tone for the album with its themes of “resilience and navigating human connections.”

Colin reflects on the title track:

It’s an emotional and uplifting song that deals with time passing, with accepting and letting go. It deals with resilience and holding on to the magic and the light. And of course, there are conversations with angels and the big questions…It also has superb production by Rob Kirwan which hits me every time. It’s one of the strongest songs The Devlins have ever recorded and we hope that as many people as possible get to hear it.

Peter Devlin describes the new album as having a “four guys in a room” approach, with “a very organic and real and live feel, which is missing in a lot of music now.”

Guitarist Mark Murphy adds:

The new album has a lot of space on it. There are no in-your-face guitar solos, it’s all about the driving rhythm section and letting the songs shine through. It’s raw. I think it’s the band’s most honest album yet.

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. Later, their song “Crossing The River” was part of the Batman Forever multi-platinum selling soundtrack.
