World pop folk rock gypsy punk band Devotchka have released their fifth album, 100 Lovers, on March 1st. They are always hard to categorize and true to their own muse and this album is no exception to that. An Amazon review describes their influences as “from Eastern European wedding bands to Norteno ballads”. Yow! I think you have to listen for yourself and then decide. More from the Amazon review:
For 100 Lovers, DeVotchKa spent over a year refining their sound, taking multiple trips to their desert studio to craft twelve new recordings. The final product is the bands strongest album to date, combining the energy and pop verve of How It Ends with the lush arrangements of A Mad and Faithful Telling – filled with songs fans will love, songs to draw in new listeners, and exciting numbers that will slip handsomely into their rousing live sets. Guests on the album include members of Calexico, and Mauro Refosco, David Byrne and Thom Yorke’s go-to percussionist. With a full tour lined up for the spring and dates booked all over the world, 2011 is gearing up to be the biggest year for DeVotchKa yet.
