It’s not Devo. It’s apparently very easy to upload music in some other artist’s name. This happens all the time for a lot of artists.

Why?
It has historically been a way of stealing Spotify royalties but targetting big artists is more d difficult these days. It's also a means of hijacking an artist's audience, if only temporarily. Sometimes also used to fraudulently get things into DMCA databases. Happens to smaller artists like Lemon Demon all the time.
It's not too late!
