The two had previously got together on record in 2007 for The Huddle House LP. They dovetailed so well on that recording, so teaming up again it was only natural that a LP would result with their efforts. Ken Brake, who produced the previous collaboration, also returns here to shape the sound with admirable skill and Danny Manners was called in towards the end to put down his double bass parts, adding another crucial element in the sound of The Devil Laughs.
It must be stated upfront that what with have here is something that has little connection with anything remotely rock & roll. Not everything has to and this certainly doesn’t. What it actually is, well that’s difficult to categorise, so perhaps we will try not to get too bogged down in that (though it’s inevitable). Influences drift in and out and the duo are just a great fit, their different backgrounds meaning they bring a myriad of sounds like chanson, folk rock, jazz pop and even choral MOR with them, but nothing becomes too dominating a theme. The pair stamp their individuality on The Devil Laughs with a typically quiet authority and keep everything so fresh too.
