Sara Lov

“Simple and sad with a shot of scotch.” That’s how musician Sara Lov describes her simultaneously dark and angelic sound that has been also described as “honeyed” (NME), “smoky” (Mojo) and “haunting” (The Sun). The former frontwoman of Devics and now solo singer paints an apt picture of melodies that are both minimalist and poignant with heady vocals that warm you from the inside. Produced by Zac Rae (My Brightest Diamond, Fiona Apple), mixed by Darrell Thorp (Radiohead, Beck), and featuring cameos from Alex Brown Church (Sea Wolf) and Solon Bixler (Great Northern), Seasoned Eyes Were Beaming is an album that exudes confidence in both Lov’s songwriting and lyrical skills.For a singer freshly on her own, Lov (no, the “e” isn’t missing, and yes, that’s her real name) exudes immense confidence. She was formerly a key member of dream pop band Devics, a critics favourite who were signed to Bella Union by Cocteau Twins’ Simon Raymonde. It is perhaps because of her time in Devics that Lov finds the idea of going out on her own exciting, if a little unnerving. I learn every day and doing scary things makes me grow,” Lov says.
“Dustin [O’Halloran, the other half of Devics] and I make wonderful music together, but like every creative person there’s always that insistent urge to write both music and lyrics for yourself, test yourself, challenge yourself.”
Listeners to Seasoned Eyes Were Beaming are certain to be just as pleased.
