The latest entry from the POP! Stereo Treasure Trove comes to us from the past... deVries is the new band of Travis DeVries, of legendary Seattle band The Turn-ons. In August 2009, Spin Magazine listed The Turn-ons in its "100 Greatest Bands You've (Probably) Never Heard" story. Peter Buck of R.E.M. described them as "…simply my favorite new Seattle band. If I said that their sound was a combination of the Velvets, T. Rex and Spiritualized with a dash of Yo La Tengo, it wouldn't do them justice." de Vries [...]

deVries - The Darkest Summer. Seattle's deVries is the brainchild of Travis deVries, also a member of the Turn-Ons. Their record Death To God is a good one. It's a weird, unpredictable mix of your favorite bands, but it's still strikingly original. The songs are similarly arranged and produced - think T. Rex in a subway tunnel - but they're also very distinct, including the beguiling "The Darkest Summer". They're also Peter Buck's favorite Seattle band. If you're not convinced yet, I'm not sure what else to tell you. Uh, the CD comes with a $20 bill inside ......
... zumindest behauptet der Pressetext zum neuen Projekt von Travis DeVries (ehemals bei den Turn Ons). O-Ton Peter Buck: „If I said that their sound was a combination of the Velvets, T. Rex and Spiritualized with a dash of Yo La Tengo, it wouldn't do them justice." Das sind gewichtige Worte, und wenn man sich den ersten nun veröffentlichten Song «Darkest Summer» so anhört, kann ich diese Assoziationen durchaus nachvollziehen. Psychedelisch, aber dennoch schwebend, locker, aber treibend, so klingt DeVries hier und sein bereits 2007 aufgenommenes, nun aber endlich im November offiziell erscheinendes Album [...]
