Devon Rexi is an Amsterdam-based group creating dubby, playful experimental music.
The fried-Farsi vocals sing in the diasporic language of the ‘inbetween worlds’ - taking the
listener to alternate realms of liminality. Otherworldly screeches and rings, intricate drum
patterns, simple dubby bass lines and rhythmic guitar riffs guide you to the ready-to-explore
corners of reality.
Originally formed by Nicolini on drums and vocals and Nushin Naini on bass and vocals,
Devon Rexi has since expanded into a quintet with Goya van der Heyden and Daniel(/…).
Van der Heyden creates an electronic touch accompanied with some percussion, while
Walter Theo (guitar) stretches the sound into more groovy territories.
On their recent release, Biya Ba Man (2024), the band’s special brand of post-punky
psych-funk can be heard: pitch-shifted vocals – sometimes chanting, sometimes chirping –
intertwine with distorted grooves, propelled by percussion and bass.
