A desperado of modern culture, DEVORA bridges outlaw country melodies with dark pop hooks drawing you into her surrealist western world.
Raised in the desert of Arizona, Ariel Levitan aka DEVORA draws her inspiration from her roots – growing up around desert creatures in a western town, experiencing the sinister lawless side of desert life, and the characters she’s met along the way. In her modern goth-western vignettes, she conjures images of ghost towns, dark rodeos, the haunted desert, abandoned motel rooms, skylines on fire, the open road, and reckless tales of love and loss in a modern wild west.
A rebel at heart, she has always taken the road less traveled and her reputation precedes her. Singing and writing since she was a small child, music comes second nature to her. She was continuously writing short stories and poetry while growing up in a small desert town. Eventually, Ariel began to draw on the stories, encounters, strange themes, and adventures occurring in her life by turning them into songs.
DEVORA is not just music, but also an ethos of the Wild West reimagined in 2021. It’s not her story, but all of our stories, to choose and be immersed in your own adventure; to harness your own inner outlaw. The standout first offering in the Outlaw EP (Tiger Tone Records) celebrates life in the fast lane while marking the beginnings of a wild expedition ahead and the spiritedness of riding off into a pitch-black sunset.
