When Devo last released a new album, 20 years ago, the biggest stars in music were M.C. Hammer, Paula Abdul and Vanilla Ice — and nobody wanted to listen to herky-jerky synth pop and hear about how the world was crumbling all around them. "Now most people agree that devolution is real," says Devo bassist Jerry Casale. "We were real ahead of our time, and our music seems contemporary now. A lot of bands we like a lot, like LCD Soundsystem and the Ting Tings and MSTRKRFT and the Kills and Hot Chip are informed by the sensibility that we started. We are suddenly marching in step with the times again." (Watch the full video interview above.)
