Melbourne’s finest purveyors of vintage rock, Devil Electric have released a spectacular, highly creative video for Take The Edge Off, taken from their upcoming new album, Godless, set for release on November 12.
Take The Edge Off is about the irony of looking for utopia in dark alleys. The chorus “I took the edge off, now the edge is where I’ll be” refers to how our choices for escapism are the reason we need to escape in the first place. We are all guilty of turning to our vices to ‘take the edge off’ a day, a week, a damn global pandemic, but a hasty cut can make the edge more jagged – particularly if your mindset is way off kilter.
