After several acclaimed albums for Sacred Bones, Brooklyn post-punk group the Men return to self-releasing their music with their 2016 full-length, Devil Music. The album also marks their return to making noisy, aggressive punk rock rather than the mellower, more rootsy rock of their previous two albums and EP Campfire Songs, which delved into country and heartland rock influences. By and large, the ten tracks on Devil Music are fast, loud, and heavy, and they were all bashed out in the group's practice space over a single weekend.
Devil Music spins the car around 180 degrees and heads roaring back toward the psych-punk abandon of the Men’s early years. Released on the band’s own We Are the Men Records, and the crew’s first since parting ways with umentalist Ben Greenberg, the caustic, stubbornly lo-fi Devil Music sizzles like a hot coal-the Stooges, MC5, and Mudhoney compressed into an angry little ball
Before Devil Music, Brooklyn noise punks The Men used to release an album every year, experimenting with folk and Americana, zipping through personnel changes and working out how to handle a higher musical profile after years of working at it. Following a deserved year-long break, they convened one weekend this January to bang out Devil Music, 34 bracing minutes of ragged punk rock that careens ahead with little regard for the handbrake or volume dial. But the band isn’t returning to form, so to speak. Rather, Devil Music makes it clear that noisy punk music isn’t so much of a phase for The Men as much as a primal, basic state. The band has played big festival stages and recorded in Catskills cabins, but they really come alive in small practice spaces where instruments get dangerously sweaty and time ceases to matter.
The Men released their follow-up album Open Your Heart on March 6, 2012. Open Your Heart received critical acclaim, including a Best New Music designation from Pitchfork Media. wrote "With Open Your Heart, The Men have taken that breath.
