That chemistry is the joyous heart of ‘And The Devil Went Up To Portland,’ the trio’s riotous debut record. Born out of a series of freewheeling and collaborative live tours, the album showcases a band built on equal parts humor and heart, one blessed with an embarrassment of artistic riches. Spare and direct in its production, the record captures the infectious lyrical wit and remarkably engaging presence of NHD’s three kindred frontmen, who, according to Austin NPR station KUTX, have already developed the kind of “depth and polish you would expect to find in long-running bands.” Each member of the group is a successful solo artist and bandleader in his own right, but the magic of NHD lies in its playful, Rat Pack-esque interplay. With nothing to prove, they made an album for the sheer fun of it, and the result is a whole that’s far greater than the sum of its already-remarkable parts.
Condition:NEW.
