'Power Words for Better Living' marks the triumphant return of David Devant & His Spirit Wife, one of the UK's most acclaimed live acts. This, their third album, sees the band moving further into classic guitar pop territory. The fact that David Devant preserve their trademark individuality whilst giving us 10 perfect-for-radioplay tracks is a sure sign that the boys have become the band their legion of fans always knew they would.
'Power Words for Better Living' is a return to the joyful inventiveness that led to the band's inception in the backwaters of Brighton's North Lanes. These are great songs which do not seek to badger the listener into somnambulant surrender - rather they make them writhe with pleasure at the strangeness of the mundanity of life. Throughout the album DD& HSW's quintessential Englishness is applied to the thorny issues of getting older, city life, isolation and love, providing us with surefire hits such as the first single off the album 'Contact'. Their acute observations of life and sage advice, "Don't be ashamed if your best friends are the square ones" - 'Any Fool Can Fall in Love's, mark them out as a grown up band for the noughties with enough wit and charm to span the generations.
