Devon Welsh

Singer Devon Welsh embodies minimalism head-to-toe. One might point to his signature black-tee–black-jeans garb as evidence—or to the spare black-on-grey cover of his recent release True Love. But the music is far from austerity-qua-austerity. The spartan aesthetics belie a profound emotional richness found in his heartfelt melodies and earnest lyricism. Expanding upon his work with defunct duo Majical Cloudz, Welsh's recent solo album is a sublime, graceful exploration of love in all its varied shapes.
