“The hand knows best,” the painter Margaux Williamson says. “A shape produces itself, where I go toward what is intuitive, rather than logical.” The shapely, intuitive songs that comprise Ada Lea’s third album, when i paint my masterpiece, are surprising, imagistic, tactile. They stand before us and we feel their brushstrokes. Alexandra Levy holds her guitar against the backdrop of a sea of her paintings on the album cover and it’s tempting to ask: is painting a metaphor here, for music or life? No! As ever, she resists tidy metaphors. She’s a master of this kind of thorny lowercase title that germinates and grows with time. In a real, profound way, music and painting go hand-in-hand as she unveils a new style of subversion and surrealism inspired by her transdisciplinarity.
DEVONLY
Washington, DC
https://devonlymusic.bandcamp.com/
Devonly makes music to dream and scream to. A DC-based singer-songwriter (and Gemini), she pens confessional lyrics like conversations between herselves: how to be queer, feel nostalgia, face shame, and have faith. Influenced by artists like Snail Mail, Mitski, and Alvvays, Devonly blends moody melodies with made-up chords to find a relatable sound that is all her own.

Who: Devonly
Indie Rock
Devonly is an indie rock singer-songwriter from Washington DC. Her music is a conversation with her existential-nostalgic-twentysomething self, centering lyrics like confessional journal entries she often screamsings to made-up chords. Influenced by the queer catharsis of boygenius, dreamy vibe of The Cure, and reflective reverence of Mitski, Devonly’s relatable sound is all her own.
