Sara Lov lived there with an international fugitive from justice until a decade later when an uncle brought about her repatriation to the United States. In 1998 Lov formed the dream popular duo Devics alongside pianist Dustin O"Halloran. In 2001, the group signed with Bella Union, a United Kingdom-based record label run by Cocteau Twins" Simon Raymonde, and moved to Italy.
Lov later decided to pursue a solo career and partnered with producer Zac Rae on a full-length album.
In order to complete the work on the record, Lov relocated back to the Los Angeles area. She also toured with Sea Wolf and performed at a number of Los Angeles venues.
Lov"s song, "Connected By A String," was inspired by events in her life. “Everywhere went, he’d leave a path of destruction,” Lov said, “but music was my sanity.
Thus the line, "never mind the bombs in Tel Aviv" (which is a city in Israel) and Sara"s statement that, "I will not go back there, and she will never leave."
