Lawrence local makes waves in Seattle.Devin Sinha, Seattle based but Lawrence native, embraces the move to the West Coast with his second album, The Seventh Season. This album is about him making his new home in Seattle, which is seen clearly in the track titled, “Sigh of the Sea.” The opening track, “Ripcord,” is catchy enough to be stuck in your head for the rest of the day. Sinha is a folk artist who performs solo most of the time but on this album he used a full backing band to create a sound just a little different than what you would expect from him. The full band adds a fuller sound to the songs with more of a range. Don’t get me wrong, I love him solo but this album just takes it up a notch. Definitely give this a spin.
