Following two lauded EPs on cult label South of North—Tambal (2022) and Biya Ba Man
(2024)—Amsterdam-based interdimensional dub group Devon Rexi prepare to release their
much-anticipated debut album, recorded by and featuring the elusive 5 Gate Temple
devotee, musician and producer John T. Gast.
The group is formed by a core trio of Nicola Reverda (Nicolini) on drums and vocals, Nushin
Naini on bass and vocals, and Goya van der Heyden (La Rat) on samples and effects. In this
formation, they skirt and flirt around a motorik kraut-rock mentality with an indubiously
dub-laden physicality and an uncategorisable sense of experimentation.
The shifted realities of Devon Rexi’s songs arrive like quantum conjurings, as if their
frequencies are echoing from the furthest wormholes of space. As much as they create
something fantastical and yet-unheard, their priority is in understanding vulnerability and
friction, reality and fragility, mythologies and everyday resistances. They do this artfully and
honestly through an almost deceptively simple arrangement of percussion, bass, and melody.
