Description
A key figure in the US 'Murder Folk' scene that also includes contemporaries such as The Devil Makes Three and The Dead South, the music of singer-songwriter Amigo The Devil is a unique blend of Folk that also incorporates elements of Southern Gothic, Country and Bluegrass. Initially influenced by the likes of Tom Waits, Nick Cave and Godspeed! You Black Emperor, the artist born as Danny Kiranos has a recognised sound that carries traces of US artists such as Americana string band Old Crow Medicine Show and singer-songwriters William Elliott Whitmore and Josh T Pearson, allied with direct, often morbid lyrics shot through with a dark sense of humour. Following a number of well received single and EP releases, the debut album by Amigo The Devil, entitled 'Everything Is Fine', has been produced by Ross Robinson, renowned for his work with major league hard rock/metal acts (Korn, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot) but here bringing a warmth and presence to a musically varied set of songs that reveal more with each play.
Description
Banjo-attacking dark folk troubadour Amigo the Devil has established himself as a multifaceted artist with a kaleidoscopic vision and has been drawing attention from everyone from the likes of Rolling Stone, Noisey, Consequence of Sound, Kerrang, Brooklyn Vegan and more. LA Weekly described him as Johnny Cash at his blackest, mixed with Father John Misty, if he exhumed graves at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. While Rolling Stone proclaimed, Kiranos unflinchingly explores dark and grim subject matter from suicide to serial killers he spins these topics into dark love songs that explode into heavy-metal catharsis. He also balances out this bleak material with an undercurrent of humor that really translates in his gregarious live performances.
2018's debut Everything Is Fine gets a timely re-pressing
