“Devotion” is a mix of elegant church organs, dreamy guitar riffs and charming vocals. Lead singer Carlos J Gonzalez mixes together feelings of loss and heartbreak flawlessly, and melts them into an otherworldly background of synths and melodies. The track is the perfect of example of what it feels like to dance and move to the sound of your sadness. The song is airy, introspective and hauntingly memorable. Good luck not humming it for the rest of your day.

The Silhouette Era’s upcoming album, Beacons, is set for release in June. You can also catch the band live tonight! Details below.
