Devotion, Kap Bambino’s fourth album, is based on a few simple rules: each song is recorded as though played for the first time, and there was no second take; each live show is played as if it was the final one; each task is executed with a sense of urgency; each decision is made with excess; all the indicators are in the red.

The entourage of modern musicians - manager, promoter…- that they developed along the way, shows their claimed self-sufficiency and preserved amateurism for the essential: direct and immediate contact with their audience, with no distance, not even physical when Caroline dives off stage to swim across the crowds.
