“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), “haunting” (The Sun), and “smokey” (MOJO). The former frontwoman of Devics and current solo singer paints an apt picture of melodies that are both minimalist and poignant with heady vocals that warm you from the inside.

For a singer freshly on her own, Lov (no, the “e” isn’t missing, and yes, that’s her real name) exudes immense confidence. The artist was formerly a part of indie favorite dream pop band Devics, a critical favorite in the UK where they were famously signed to Bella Union by Cocteau Twins’ Simon Raymonde. It is perhaps because of the success of 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 [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.”

Lov views much of her life in a similar way – taking something frightening that could have overwhelmed others, and making it a positive influence on her life and music.

I'm embarrassed to be the only shout with something negative to say - but her music loses something without Dustin O'Halloran's input. Devics' Push the Heart is a gorgeous album - the same pure voice but with a dash more melancholy to the tunes. This is almost saccharine :(

I saw her in Stuttgart and I was really really impressed how beautiful this music and the voice is. Too bad there were people talking right behind me most of the time (how can you do that while such music is playing live??!?!). I bought "Seasoned Eyes Were Beaming" and I'm currently listening to it. I love it already. Usually I have to give an album more listens before I like it.

@imaginaryangie..that is pure blasphemy. her version is nice and her voice is beautiful, but the rest seems too hollow in comparison. the organ absolutely makes the song and the original blows her's out of the water.

As much as I adore Arcade Fire, her My Body is A Cage is so damn good...and I think my favorite. Love it! So glad I stumbled across it.
