Kevin Devine’s work is typically subdued and acoustic, but lately he’s been breaking through that trend with his newest record, "Between the Concrete and Clouds", featuring a full-band back-up, but not changing his characteristically observant lyrics on themes of human nature. Devine has opened for bands such as Bright Eyes and Manchester Orchestra, and he’s most known for his performances at Coachella and Bonnaroo last year. The new EP will be released on September 13. Until then, listen here. – Caitlin Clive
