Damned Devotion

Previous albums have received award after award, such as Best Rock and Pop Album at the Independent Music Awards ("Real Life") and Album of the Year from Q Magazine ("To Survive"). While their 2014 album "The Classic" was an emotional celebration of life and their 2011 album "The Deep Field" was a lush, atmospheric musical expansion of their overall work, the compositions on "Damned Devotion," their fifth studio album, return to the core: raw lyrics paired with timeless melodies. Of course, there are the well-documented dark times in Joan Wasser's life, including the death of her friend Jeff Buckley in 1997, the suicide of her friend Elliot Smith in 2003, and the death of her mother four years later. Music has always been the medicine that has carried her through difficult times. The gap between "The Classic" and "Damned Devotion.".
