The old projects do not need to be mentioned here and as such I refuse to refer to them by name. No Devotion stands on its own as one of the post-punk releases of the year. Pure quality throughout. I hope they get the recognition they deserve and are able to stand out on their own merit now.

No Devotion have more than just a bright future ahead of them if their very first album is of any indication. If the post-punk band's debut record Permanence isn't worthy of receiving that AOTY award, then I personally think this full-length offering is certainly deserving of being a nominee, because you can never have enough contenders and the content here is amazeballs. Featuring Geoff Rickly of Thursday fame as the group's frontman and members who were in... that one band which won't be named in this sound-off, No Devotion's Permanence is nearly consistently robust. It easily soothes the mind, soul, and body with its lushful melodies, great compositions, and fittingly chill (but not emotionless) craftsmanship. Rickly's vocal performance helps a ton, as well. Angel recommends: "Permanent Sunlight," "Eyeshadow," "10,000 Summers," "Night Drive," and "Grand Central".

Those last four tracks are something special. Expect this to get some repeated listens in the coming months

Non-monsters members of Lostprophets pair up with Thursday boi Geoff Rickly to offer a throwback to the 80s with new wave sensibilities, post-punk rhythms, and a gothic vibe that nicely complements the soundscape. The biggest win is the songwriting: songs are catchy, balancing doomer aesthetic with bombastic songs.

What they do on here is seemingly phoning in a dense and unambitious Post-Punk release with shoegazy wall of sound elements production-wise, all whilst actually creating the possibly most heartfelt and catchy Synthpop record of the year.

Geoff Rickey returns to the music scene as mature and energetic despite being in the music industry in just shy of 20 years. Coming out of the ashes of a rather mundane band before forming No Devotion, the old members of lostprophets emerge with shiny new wings and break free from their old moniker completely. In Permenance, were presented with musicians displayed their emotions at their truest, sounds that echo sorrow, longing, anger, and pain all resonate to the listener in a way that proves No Devotion might just be able to be a forerunner for the music scene in the not too distant future.

It's not perfect, and the transition from Death Rattle into 10,000 Summers is jarring at best, but there is nonetheless a good deal of quality music to be found here. Permanent Sunlight, Why Can't I Be with You, I Wanna Be Your God and Night Drive are the standouts.
