Release Notes:
The times have finally caught up with acclaimed Denver quartet DeVotchKa. Not
long ago when the band unloaded their instruments - a violin, a tuba and an
accordion, among others - into a rock club, they were told they must be in the
wrong place. They created music that was Grammy nominated (DeVotchKa created the
soundtrack for the indie smash Oscar winning film Little Miss Sunshine) without
the benefit of a huge promotion team or runaway budget, instead relying only on
their own efforts by self-releasing their records. And they crafted gems of
songs by mixing a beautiful blend of Eastern European bohemia, American prairie
rock and distinctive indie and called it pop, rather than world, music. Now, the
band is au courant, poised to shine on with their Anti- Records debut A Mad and
Faithful Telling. From the cinematic richness of "Transliterator" to the modern
pop experiment of "The Clockwise Witness," to the soaring and wrenching
"Undone," DeVotchKa have produced a career-defining record and the world is
listening.
