S01 E01 - Devours

Introducing Undercurrents: An Artist's Artist Conversation, hosted by Simone Atenea Medina Polo. This is a podcast about artists in music championing each other's work. Each episode features an interview with a guest musician, an artist adjacent to music, or just generally anyone in the music sphere who wants to chat.

This first episode features Devours (they/them), which is the DIY electropunk project of Vancouver-based musician Jeff Cancade.

Across five acclaimed underground albums, including 2023's Polaris Music Prize-longlisted Homecoming Queen, Devours has written confessional and confrontational electronic music about masculinity, body image, gay politics, and inner-city queer existence. They have toured Canada and the US, received coverage from Vice, CBC, Exclaim, and the Globe and Mail, and have performed at festivals such as SXSW, Treefort Music Fest, Sled Island, JunoFest, Vancouver Jazz Fest, and more. Sports Car Era, their newest LP, was released in March of 2025.
