The track unfolds at a slow and deliberate pace, blending acoustic guitars, muddy electric tones, and sweeping strings into an organic sound that feels raw and alive. The chorus hooks immediately, leaving its mark as both sultry and memorable.
What makes this song so striking is its imagery. The devil is not fiddling in a showdown this time—he is playing electric guitar in the heart of Silverlake, seducing hipsters and calling out names. The lyric “The devil came down to Silverlake and he asked for you by name” lingers long after the song ends, capturing the sinister charm at the center of the story.
With Elizabeth Cook’s presence adding depth and texture, “The Devil Went Down To Silverlake” becomes a haunting highlight of New Roses and a track listeners will want to revisit again and again.
