DEVO : Pop, rock et régression

Devo’s songs now feel like prophecies set to music. That’s cold comfort to the founders, who called it like they saw it but hoped they were wrong.

Sorta new wave, sorta post-punk, sorta art-rock, Devo is the sort of band one can relish in fits and starts.

...more rewarding than a standard-issue music documentary.

...the music itself matters less than its subversive intentions.

Smith and Scona know they have a short time to convince the uninitiated to give the doc a try, so they set up a super shot of the best Devo tunes and visuals that even a casual viewer cannot pass up.

Chris Smiths film är hur som helst utmärkt och man blir peppad av Mothersbaughs och Casales obändiga vilja att göra humoristisk, knasig konst av sina frustrationer.
