Devo Offer 'Something for Everybody' on New Album
- Posted on May 13th 2010 9:00AM by Chris Mugan
Devo have announced details of their first studio album in 20 years. Due for release next month, 'Something for Everybody' has seen the band rely on their fans' good taste.Produced by Greg Kurstin, the follow up to 1990's 'Smooth Noodle Maps' brings together the classic line-up of two pairs of brothers, Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh alongside Gerald and Bob Casale, joined by drummer Josh Freese, who has worked with Nine Inch Nails and Guns N' Roses.
For the album, the new wave outfit embarked on a collaborative process where fans gave their views on colour selection and tracklisting. "We decided to actively seek comment and criticism from outside people and use that as a tool, rather than shunning or ignoring it," Gerald Casale said in a statement. "Our experiences participating in secondary creativity -- things like corporate consensus building, focus groups -- make you appreciate the connection that an artist has to society."
As reported in Spinner, Santigold has also worked on 'Something for Everybody,' as has John King from production outfit the Dust Brothers and Swedish group Teddybears, after they remixed the Devo track 'Watch Us Work It.' The album is out June 14 in the UK and a day a later in the US.

These guys were at the top of their game in 1980, the year I graduated high school. I will agree they were ahead of their time then -- just not sure how they will hold up in today's music scene. But I wish them the best.

This is Great! Most people do not know, Devo has done so much more than Albums. Read the credits on theme music from some popular Cartoons and Movies and you will see the Brothers have created some great stuff! I still have a bunch of the old Albulms but still get CD's for play. "Shout it out" for DEVO!

JEFF, I'm with you - Alan was perfect on drums... he now does electrical contracting, I believe, in California. But either way, Myers OR Freese, I'm so glad about this new album! I recently downloaded the FREEDOM OF CHOICE album, from amazon... just perfect.
