Already acknowledged as a thrilling live performer and starkly honest lyricist, Damned Devotion finds Joan Wasser at her rawest.
While her 2014 album 'The Classic' was a soulful celebration of life and her 2011 album 'The Deep Field' a lush moody expansion, this new release sees her stripping her compositions back to the core, the bare-all lyricism and timeless melodies harking back to her accolade-winning album 'To Survive' (2008) and the universally acclaimed debut album 'Real Life' (2006).
Famously a collaborator and muse to artists as diverse as Anohni, Rufus Wainwright, Lou Reed and Beck, since the release of her last album Joan has worked alongside fashion designers Viktor & Rolf as well as a growing list of musicians including Sufjan Stevens, Lau, RZA and most recently Daniel Johnston.
Lead track 'Warning Bell' is a tender, bewitching song of regret Joan wrote about "being a romantic and the naiveté that goes along with it".
