Review

Spin (p.100) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] sultry brew of Gypsy, Mexican, and pop ingredients that's adorably silly and unexpectedly moving."
Entertainment Weekly (p.67) - "[I]t's a rare group that can make you wistful while wielding a caravan's worth of instruments like a theremin, accordion, and sousaphone." -- Grade: A-
Uncut (p.88) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Riddled with great tunes and gorgeous, lachrymose ballads....A MAD AND FAITHFUL TELLING is an impeccably titled album."
Alternative Press (p.152) - "A MAD AND FAITHFUL TELLING is both whimsical and rich, with poignant lyrical moments throughout."
Q (Magazine) (p.107) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Denver's DeVotchKa are a US four-piece who pluck elements from Romany, Greek and Serbian music, then shake well..."
Blender (Magazine) (p.75) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he quartet's willfully eccentric Eastern-Europe-by-way-of-Mexico mixture packs a more confident punch than ever, beefed up with auxiliary musicians."

Title Note

Personnel: Thomas Hagerman, Shawn King , Jeanie Schroder, Nick Urata.

On their first album since scoring the massive indie film hit LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE, as well as their first for the higher-profile indie label Anti Records, Denver's boundary-pushing Devotchka stick to their guns. Rather than watering down their blend of Eastern Europe (Romany violins) and the American Southwest (mariachi brass; Tex-Mex accordion), A MAD AND FAITHFUL TELLING actually puts these elements out in front of the trio's more traditional indie-rock side on songs such as the lengthy, eclectic "Basso Profundo." Melodramatic ballads like "Blessing In Disguise" and "New World" are still the band's stock in trade, and A MAD AND FAITHFUL TELLING perfectly showcases their quirky but effective mix of influences.
