DeVotchKa A Mad & Faithful Telling [Anti-Records/Mar 18] |
| Though I have never been too enamored by the gypsy-laced music of DeVotchKa, 2004’s “How It Ends” as well as their appearance on the Little Miss Sunshine soundtrack certainly have their moments. A Mad & Faithful Telling stays true to the band’s eccentricity and maintains a willingness to experiment, though the tracks on this record are somewhat more somber than their recent work. At times Nick Urata’s warbling vocals are strangely reminiscent of Radiohead, while other times meandering into the spaghetti western territory paved by Ennio Morricone. Fans of the band should not be disappointed by this release, though I personally prefer the temperament of their recent past.
RIYL: Calexico, Radiohead, Beirut, Ennio Morricone |

This album is amazing. It’s not often that I have such an emotional response to a record. Devotchka are an amazingly talented bunch. Can’t wait to see them live!
