Taken from DC Fontana's brilliant 'Pentagram Man EP' in the autumn of 2012, 'DevilAngel' sees the band continuing to evolve & move forward.

The third video in the Pentagram Man trilogy & filmed in Birmingham by E.P.A. Films & directed by Martin Copland-Gray, 'DevilAngel' follows videos for the EP's title track & "What Would It Take?"

'DevilAngel' was written by founding member & bass player Mark Mortimer & produced by long-time Julian Cope guitarist Donald Ross Skinner.

The song features an intriguing mix of varied instruments including cimbalom, hammered dulcimer, yangqin, autoharp, fuzz & tremelo guitars, Hammond organ, cor anglais, oboe, flute, horns, drums, bass guitar & is topped by an impressive lead vocal from Louise Turner who sang on Elbow's Mercury Prize winning album, "The Seldom Seen Kid."

And the song provides ample evience of the group continuing to develop an intriguing style that defies convenient genre-tagging.

The 2012 line up features founding members Mortimer & drummer Nigel Horton plus Scott Riley, once of Spectrum & E.A.R., the post-Spacemen 3 projects of Pete Kember while Mancunian vocalist Turner joined after singing on the Platinum-selling Elbow record. Guitarist Tony Russell, who penned "What Would It Take?" on the EP & the group's brass section make up the 2012 version of DC.

Sixties blue-eyed singer Don Fardon teamed up with the group to sing an alternative version of 'Pentagram Man' on the EP while psychedelic shaman Peter Daltrey, the lead singer & songwriter with seminal 60s band Kaleidoscope, wrote the sleeve notes for the record after catching the band live at a large festival in Gijón., Spain.

The record is released on DCTone Records (CD & mp3s) & by Heavy Soul & Rome-based Teen Sound as different 7" vinyls.
