Devon Williams
Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter Devon Williams has enjoyed an electric career spanning multiple bands since the late ‘90s. He first gained prominence with punk-pop trio Osker, who formed in 1998 when Williams was a sophomore in high school, and signed to Epitaph two years later, where the band released two records. By 2002, Osker had run its course and Williams moved on to alt-folk outfit Fingers Cut Megamachine, which earned comparisons to Bright Eyes and Iron & Wine and released two LPs and a handful of 7”s over the next four years. In 2007, Williams played guitar with romantic country-indie pop purveyors Lavender Diamond and dreamy noise popsters the Champagne Socialists as he readied his first 7” as a solo artist, which arrived on the LA Records label that June. His first solo LP, Carefree, followed in 2008, offering lushly orchestrated jangle pop and soft rock-influenced melodies buoying Williams' gentle musings on romance. Williams signed to Slumberland Records in 2009, releasing a pair of 7”s, with sophomore album Euphoria arriving in summer 2011.
