stream Kevin Devine's new song "Only Yourself"

Kevin Devine is releasing the eleventh installment of his Devinyl Splits split 7″ series on February 1 via Bad Timing Records. This one’s with UK indie artist Cavetown (who contributes a reworked version of his 2015 song “Devil Town”), and we’re premiering Kevin’s contribution, which is a new original song called “Only Yourself.” It starts off with Kevin in stripped-back solo acoustic mode, but the song takes some unexpected turns and evolves into something much more heavily layered. It’s a gorgeous song, and Kevin’s pop smarts really shine on the simple yet very effective hook. Check it out, along with the Cavetown song, below. You can pre-order the 7″ here.

Kevin also has tour dates coming up, including his BrooklynVegan-presented St. Patrick’s Day run in NYC and the Boston-area, where he’ll be doing Celtic punk-inspired sets under the name Kenny O’Brien and the O’Douls for the occasion. The run includes Allston’s Great Scott on March 16 (tickets) and early and late shows at NYC’s Mercury Lounge on March 17 (early show tickets, late show tickets). All of his dates (and all of Cavetown’s dates) are listed below.

Kevin is also one of the artists who reflected on An Horse’s debut album Rearrange Beds for a 10th anniversary piece that we published earlier today.
