Devours, headlining the Maple Stage this year, is the DIY underground-pop project of Vancouver–based artist Jeff Cancade. It was just announced that their most recent album Homecoming Queen, released on May 9, 2023, has made the long list of nominees for this year’s Polaris Music Prize.
Across four acclaimed underground albums, Devours has written confessional and confrontational electronic music about masculinity, body image, gay love, and the darker side of queer existence. They have toured Canada and the U.S., received coverage from the likes of VICE, Xtra Magazine, and Exclaim!, and have performed at festivals spanning Treefort Music Fest in Boise, Idaho; Up Here Festival in Sudbury, Ontario; and the Vancouver International Jazz Festival.
