Truth Club Digs into Devisa: Travis Harrington of Truth Club told us about his Mal Devisa experience.
Travis Harrington: When Truth Club was at SXSW earlier this year I went and saw Mal Devisa play the audiofemme showcase in a great big church.
I rushed over in between our load-in and performance a few blocks away, hoping to catch just a couple of songs. I was pretty exhausted and very stressed thinking about the coming days of running around, but as soon as she started “Sea of Limbs” those preoccupations fell silent.
I sat motionless, tracing the vocal crescendos scattered throughout the high arches, and felt those vibrations pass through me too. I was just another point of interpolation against them, a raw recipient of the emotional outpour. I had tears streaming down my face.
It takes something powerful to break you down like that amid all of the constructs that make up who you are, to make you forget that you are living and instead, for a brief moment, feel as if you are the song.
Truth Club Digs into Devisa: Truth Club's album Running From the Chase is out now via Double Double Whammy.
