Devours is first and foremost a storytelling project. With their four albums, darkwave pop eccentric Jeff Cancade has been perfecting the art of recounting stories both whimsically real and poetically funny over an electronic backdrop. Their latest dials up their pop sensibilities to take a look at the person behind the extravagant character, tackling personal stories of navigating society, life, love, and gender.
Featuring Cindy Lee, Nemahsis, Wyatt C. Louis, and more — These Canadian artists all commandeered our headphones this year in a compelling way.
