DeVotchKa: 100 Lovers

"DeVotchKa, a Denver-based chamber-rock group with an affinity for Gypsy music, performs songs from its appealing new record, '100 Lovers.' Led by the singer, guitarist, and trumpeter Nick Urata, the group uses a wide array of instruments (sousaphone, accordion, bouzouki, theremin) to make a hybrid of rock and world music that’s neither cursory nor voyeuristic. Urata’s unaffected voice, which has a hint of Rocky Mountain loneliness in it, gives the group’s sound roots, whether they’re playing a raucous midway tune or a spaghetti-Western ballad" ("Night Life," New Yorker, 3/28/11).
