While many pandemic-influenced records deal with getting back to a safe place with loved ones, Church’s Strange Strangers first aims to remember everyone’s names at a molecular level.Īfter releasing “Flash Of Lightning In A Clear Blue Sky” and “Ephemera,” each of which tackled various textural landscapes of folk rock and digital clippings, Church has put new single “Slouching Toward Bethlehem” into our orbits. His new record, Strange Strangers, is something of a sophomoric masterclass, a refuge making sense of how we’ve lost touch with the faces we’d once memorized. But 2018 was a long while ago, and it cannot be understated how good it is to have Church’s wide-eyed crooning back in our laps. Winnipeg-born and New York-based singer/songwriter Devon Church has been everywhere the last five years, taking stints opening gigs for folks like Orville Peck and Kirin J Callinan, performing the brilliance of his debut album We Are Inextricable.
