My new obsession

lavendersparkI recently discovered the band The Amazing Devil and have been listening to their albums for about a week straight now. Maybe more. I haven't been keeping track. I haven't been this consumed by a band since I discovered Tori Amos in HS.
I first tried to listen to their music when The Witcher premiered in 2019. I loved Jaskier's voice and was curious if the actor was actually singing or if it was someone else. A quick search pulled up Joey Batey's band, but for some reason I couldn't get anything to work properly. I could get 30 second samples of the first album to play, but not full songs. The second album would allow me to play the full song, but it sounded like everything was 10ft away from the microphone and it was really hard to hear. I enjoyed what I could hear of the first album, but not the second, as I couldn't really hear any of it. Unfortunately, at the time, the only place I could find their music was BandCamp and that was where I was having issues. So I gave up.
Then recently I decided to try again. I pulled up their BandCamp page and discovered they had a new album out. Not only that, but I could now play all the songs on all the albums! I don't know what the initial issue was, if it was my computer, my connection, or the website, but it's all sorted now. I now happily have all three of their albums!
The music is kind of like if a folk song and a sea shanty had a baby. There are a couple of songs on the first album where Madeleine's voice gets a bit grating to me, but it's nothing but lovely on the other two.
With lyrics like: "Gonna go home and show my cat some memes/Because he’s awesome" (Drinking song for the Socially Anxious), "Sing me awake with a song about pirates" (Not Yet/Love Run Reprise), and "Everyone knows sex is better when you're/Unemployed" (Not Yet/Love Run Reprise)in a way that just works.

ETA: I tried to embed some of their videos, but apparently the embed feature isn't working? Maybe it's just me. I tried twice, but it wouldn't go and I don't have the time to try a work around.
