Yours Until the War is Over, the highly anticipated new album from acclaimed artist Amigo the Devil, is out today, Feb. 23, via Liars Club Records / Regime Music Group. Amigo the Devil, the moniker for singer/songwriter Danny Kiranos, also released the playful lyric video for the new single “Stray Dog,” which you can view HERE.
Named one of the 30 Most Anticipated Hard Rock Albums of 2024 by Consequence, Yours Until the War is Over is Amigo the Devil’s most multi-dimensional and engrossing collection to date. His songs are thoughtful, literary influenced and intelligent with the occasional dash of sardonic wit. Kiranos’ lyrics paint vivid images and serve as cinematic vignettes that address the human condition through flawed characters overtaken by their shortcomings, or precarious situations no one could prepare for. With a title that alludes to Ernest Hemmingway’s entanglement with Agnes von Kurowsky, Yours Until the War is Over displays the depth and breadth of Amigo the Devil’s artistry. It is an album to be experienced from beginning to end to fully recognize the perspective it offers.
Kiranos says of the new music, “I don’t really know what to say about this album because it was such a positive and free experience surrounding the creation of it. The idea that all we have are positive memories regarding songs exploring seemingly hopeless and regretful, often traumatic situations won’t make sense to a lot of people but maybe that’s the whole point of the record. Yours Until the War is Over… although a reference to the vibrant yet fragile connection between Hemingway and Nurse Agnes, it isn’t their story feeding the songs, just a road map for every scenario collected here. I can’t tell if this record was the war or the love story but now that we’re through it, it’s not ours anymore. We’re so damn grateful to have gone through it either way.”
“…an album that is more Tom Waits than John Prine… filled with obscure literary references (the title is a reference to Hemingway), liberal doses of humor, and a thread of pathos spread across 13 tracks, Amigo the Devil delivers an album that is alternately fun and sad, sometimes in the same song.” – No Depression
“The lyrical content, while dark and at times disturbing, is exceptional; the pictures that Kiranos paints with his words are vivid, his use of language very good and the wit employed at times, in mostly unexpected places is a joy.” – Americana UK
“…occupies a fractured cinematic space all its own – one that veers artfully between pathos and empathy.” – Magnet
“It’s absolutely glorious… indeed, these are big-screen epics playing out in our headphones.” 10/10 – Maximum Volume
“‘Yours Until the War is Over’ is not only Amigo the Devil’s best album, but it’s an easy album of the year contender.” – The Aquarian
“Danny Kiranos, as Amigo the Devil, has created a masterpiece with this record.”
