Devotchka Artist Snapshot:

Although the Colorado-based DeVotchKa has been recording and performing their unique hybrid of Eastern European folk and sweet indie-pop since 1995 (at one time providing musical backing for striptease artist Dita Von Teese), the band entered the public arena in a big way when they scored the Sundance film hit LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE in 2006, along with more experienced movie composer Mychael Danna. Since then, the band has toured the world and released their fifth album and an EP, both of which garnered excellent reviews.

Review

Q (p.97) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he Balkan melancholia of Beirut and Gogol Bordello is not the only trick up the Denver-based four-piece's sleeve: elsewhere they harness the ambitious sweep of Arcade Fire."
Uncut (p.99) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he real ace in their pack is the voice of Nick Urata, a soaring operatic instrument heard to thrilling effect..."
CMJ (p.12) - "[A] work that swells with a haunting desperation and neoclassical grandeur."

Title Note

Devotchka: Nick Urata (vocals, guitar, bouzouki, piano, percussion, Theremin); Jeanie Schroder (vocals, tuba, vibraphone, bass instrument); Tom Hagerman (violin, accordion, piano, vibraphone, triangle); Shawn King (trumpet, piano, organ, vibraphone, glockenspiel, drums).

Additional personnel include: Sarah Thorpe (vocals); Nick Luca (guitar); Paul Niehaus (pedal steel guitar); Lindsay Emmett (violin); Craig Schumacher (harmonica, percussion).

Recording information: Wavelab Studio, Tuscon, Arizona.

The third album from Denver, Colorado's DeVotchKa builds on the sonic blueprint of their first two albums by honing their hybrid of Eastern European gypsy folk, cabaret, noir-ish film music, and guitar-oriented indie rock. It's DeVotchKa's unusual instrumentation that gives the music its unique quality, and the combination of bouzouki, theremin, accordion, vibraphone, and glockenspiel only adds to the exotic, dreamy quality of HOW IT ENDS. The atmospheric opener, "You Love Me," weaves a moody, acoustic spell, while "Twenty-Six Temptations" rides a dark, Latinized rhythm. Whether pumping out gypsy-fueled jams such as "Viens Avec Moi," or opening into moments of heartbreaking beauty such as "Dearly Departed," DeVotchKa plays literate, substantive music, and fans of everyone from Calexico to the Magnetic Fields will find something to enjoy in this eminently listenable release.

Editorial Reviews

TOWER.COM REVIEW

Album Review

Called "Everything that music should be," by NPR's All Things Considered, DeVotchKa's third full length "How It Ends" showcases the Denver band's unique sound- a blend of Eastern European, Southwestern, and wholly otherworldly arrangements, which are impossible to define in time or space. Produced by Craig Shumacher, (Calexico, Giant Sand, Evan Dando) "How It Ends" is filled with mournful ballads and aggressive instrumentals-- built with violin, upright bass, guitar, trumpets, piano, theremin and odd percussion. DeVotchKa and their unique sound have drawn comparisons to like-minded peers Calexico, 16 Horsepower, and Bright Eyes. With sold out theatres across America, the band may no longer be the underground's best kept secret. Standard Jewel Case.
