The Way You Go To My Head

Unloved “Devils Angels”

Unloved make a kind of exotic, heavily atmospheric groove-based post-trip-hop music that was once ubiquitous in the late ‘90s and early ‘00s but is now somewhat rare. Their new record Heartbreak has a welcome familiarity – not just in evoking a vibe that was very hip when I was younger, but in the way it seems to scramble together aesthetics pulled from decades of cool film soundtracks into music that has the patina of oldness but sounds like no moment in particular. “Devils Angels” is one of their grooviest numbers – a bit sleazy and menacing, but sung with a flirty tone. It’s like a theme song for a femme fatale in a movie from the past about the future we’re living in right now.
