Devil’s Music is homage to the music Teddybears love by artists like Kraftwerk, The Ramones, and Public Enemy- not decidedly one genre but many. While some songs on the album speak to one’s pop sensibilities, as on “Cardiac Arrest” featuring Robyn, the album walks a fine line that few dare.
Here we see Teddybears pulling from genres as diverse as Dancehall-meets-Garagerock on “Get Fresh With You”, vibraphones and krautrock on “Cho Cha” featuring Cee Lo and B-52s(!) and politically charged psychedelic dance-rock on the The Flaming Lips-collaboration “Crystal Meth Christians”, plus a vocoderized recording of a spoken word piece by none other than Charles Bukowski.
