Devil Hopping is the fourth studio album from British indie band Inspiral Carpets, released on 7 March 1994 via Mute Records.[1][2][3] The single version of "I Want You" features vocals by Mark E. Smith of the Fall.[4] Mute dropped the band after the release of Devil Hopping.[5]
The title of the album came from producer Pascal Gabriel's pronunciation of the word "developing."
Critical reception
Template:Album ratings The Chicago Tribune wrote that "with driving guitars and Martyn Walsh's booming bass lines, Devil Hopping edges toward a punchier rock sound."[6] Trouser Press wrote that "the nearly lifeless music is at best self-parodic; the lyrics are hopelessly trite."[1]
