​   “I’m imagining a golden string that is connecting everything but especially, beings where love has been.  I’ve imagined it again and again so often, it isn’t even imagining, it is making it happen.”
​   Devon Sproule’s music welcomes the magical and the tangible.  It celebrates human complication in the language of nature.  It is North American music with weirdo roots.
​   Since 2007, Sproule’s recordings have been released by Tin Angel Records, based in Coventry, England.  She collaborates regularly with Toronto-based band Bernice and producer Sandro Perri.  In Summer 2015, she recorded songs from a new collection, “The Gold String,” in Yukon and Nova Scotia.  Besides Canada and America, Sproule also tours regularly in Europe and has traveled with her music to Africa and Australia.
​   “Sproule’s lyrics glance off each other arrestingly, juxtaposing images.” (Financial Times). “Her quirky affectations bring to mind Bjork, and forays into the dark, Michelle Shocked.” (Village Voice)
