Oh, No! It's Devo
Devo
Roy Thomas Baker produced this record, guiding the band toward a robotic, synth-heavy aesthetic. It contains sharp critiques of society, presented through melodies that feel simultaneously infectious and deeply uncomfortable.
Synthesizers define the landscape, reflecting the early eighties interest in digital textures and gloss. The result is a precise, neon-soaked analysis of consumer culture that remains as frantic today as during its original release.
