“Devarrow clearly knows a thing or two about melodic brevity, as Likewise is a song you want to lose yourself in. It has summer written all over it.”
“With the new offerings weaving through a signature style founded upon unfiltered yet relatable lyricism, Devarrow’s DIY folk-tinged pop sensibility continues to breathes new life into the genre with his penchant for creativity.”
“it’s not about whether or not we need another folk singer; it’s a matter of Devarrow being the folk singer we all need right now.”
Devarrow has released a new single ‘Lightning Bolt’ from his LP Heart Shaped Rock. Imagine an upbeat track filled with playful whistles that evoke a sense of freedom and lightheartedness. The melody is simple yet catchy, creating a feel-good vibe that invites listeners to embrace the beauty around them.
Graham on the track, “Lightning Bolt was written during a couple cold winter days in my converted school bus. I remember the time distinctly, as I had to keep the wood stove going to keep things warm, and spent many hours huddled up beside it, guitar in hand. I was listening to a lot of J.J. Cale at that time, and was inspired by his bluesy driving rhythms. I took that driving rhythm and sped it up, finding a way to incorporate it into a more contemporary poppy feel. Lyrically, I was striving for something that reflected a bit of the laid back vibe of being down at the bus, mixed with the idea that some days it’s just impossible to get anything done with so many distractions. Half the trouble with slowing down is just getting past all the distractions which pass you along the way. “

Graham Ereaux, who makes music under the alias, Devarrow just released his newest LP Heart Shaped Rock. Despite his seemingly bustling life in rural coastal Canada as a carpenter, surfer, and nature lover, his latest album, Heart Shaped Rock, defies any notion of musical complacency. Opening with the lines, “Every morning I just wake up and I just wash my face. Go downstairs and make some breakfast, coffee, and some bacon and eggs,” the record offers a refreshing take on life’s simple pleasures, injecting vitality into a folk genre that can often lean towards melancholy.
