No Devotion - Permanence (2015) Lossless + 320

The debut album from No Devotion, the band made up of Thursday's Geoff Rickly, members of Lostprophets and for the time being Matt Tong of Bloc Party. 80's pop influenced alt.rock!

Having refined those early flirtations with nostalgic pop-noir to find themselves at the intersection of post-punk heart and contemporary tricknology, its subject matter still bleeds with equal measures longing and satisfaction. In the same way that he did in Thursday, Rickly revels in the anxiety and relief. But ultimately, Permanence is about the mark that’s left after the bleeding: It’s something new, something unpredictable, something there to remind you.
