DeVotchKa "Angels"

DeVotchKa have shared their brand new single “Angels” today from their forthcoming new album This Night Falls Forever, due for release on August 24th via Concord Records. “Angels” is the second track since the band’s resurgence, following the rhythmic “Straight Shot”. Following a celebratory album release show August 23 at Rough Trade in New York with This Night Falls Forever out the next day, DeVotchKa take on the fall season with an international tour throughout the U.S. and Europe.

With the new album, DeVotchKa return after scoring films, TV, musicals, ballets, and performing with symphony orchestras, now emerging from the studio with their sixth full-length album which features 11 songs defying categorization. These songs straddle the line between the epic and the intimate. DeVotchKa have garnered much praise and attention for blurring the lines of genre and cultural influence, and listeners can clearly see they have slowly carved their own unique space in the modern musical landscape. Urata’s soaring vocal croon and poetic lyrics are back in full force. His voice travels atop ambitious film noir orchestras and live vintage voodoo rock combos.

Johnny Loftus on DeVotchKa

A cross-pollination of numerous influences, including cabaret, spaghetti Westerns, norteño, punk, and the immigrant dance music of Eastern Europe, Colorado-based quartet DeVotchKa emerged as unlikely indie heroes in the mid-2000s. Along with bands like Calexico and Gogol Bordello, they infused modern indie music with a global flavor, eventually finding widespread success in 2006 with their Grammy-nominated soundtrack to the hit indie film Little Miss Sunshine. Signing with Anti- in 2008, they released their landmark fourth album, A Mad & Faithful Telling. Following the world tour in support of 2011’s cinematic 100 Lovers album, DeVotchKa entered a hiatus, regrouping for 2018’s This Night Falls Forever
