Devin and the Deep Blue Sea is based in Montreal, Quebec, and began in the aftermath of a breakup, when a single song—Kali—made it clear there was a record to write.
Breakup Breakdown moves between modern country, alt rock, and Celtic fiddle, without settling into any one form. As the songs developed, their focus widened—what began as something personal started to reflect a broader sense of things coming apart, and the uneasy pull between returning to what’s known and stepping into an unmade future.
It moves forward from that point, building from the break.
