Kaplin - Devastating Ways

You never know what to expect from Devastating Ways, the new album from Donegal/Dublin foursome Kaplin, where sleazy chaotic monoliths like ‘Falling Down Your Stairs’ are followed up with heartbreaking balladry, most notably on the tear-jerking ‘Easy Lover’. Elsewhere, the Mariachi trumpet on ‘Frozen Sand’ gives it a Calexico feel, while fans of Gram Parsons will savour country-tinged number ‘Turnstile In The Road’.
