It's alright, I've got the seaside

deVries - Darkest Summer.

Seattle's deVries is the brainchild of Travis deVries, also a member of the Turn-Ons. Their record Death To God is a good one. It's a weird, unpredictable mix of your favorite bands, but it's still strikingly original. The songs are similarly arranged and produced - think T. Rex in a subway tunnel - but they're also very distinct, including the beguiling "The Darkest Summer". They're also Peter Buck's favorite Seattle band. If you're not convinced yet, I'm not sure what else to tell you. Uh, the CD comes with a $20 bill inside ... ?*

In any case, pick up the record when it's released on Nov. 10. You won't be sorry.

* This may not be true.

Oh shit, fixed. Thanks for pointing it out, Adair.
