Press release:
The multi-genre ensemble DeVotchKa return today with the release of their new full-length album This Night Falls Forever, available now on Concord Records. As part of the release, the band has shared a video for the nostalgic first single "Straight Shot". Watch the video here. The album also includes the "high-octane" (Gary Graff, Billboard) track "Angels" as well as "Empty Vessels" which premiered earlier this week on Consequence of Sound, who described the song as "sturdy even as it tumbles through endless spirals of orchestration like a dream through the early breaking daylight."
After scoring Films, TV, Musicals, Ballets, and performing with symphony orchestra's, Devotchka emerge from the studio with their sixth full-length album, which includes 11 songs that defy categorization. These tracks straddle the line between the epic and the intimate. Devotchka has garnered much praise and attention for blurring the lines of genre and cultural influence, and with this release they have clearly carved their own unique space in the modern musical landscape. Frontman Nick Urata's soaring vocal croon and poetic lyrics are back in full force. His voice travels atop ambitious film noir orchestras and live vintage vodoo rock combos.
It all started following the end of DeVotchKa's 2012 tour, when Urata was left feeling conflicted. On one hand, the band was as popular as ever, playing their critically-acclaimed songs to fans at sold-out shows around the globe, and he was enjoying a burgeoning career as a film score composer, with a GRAMMY nomination already under his belt for the film Little Miss Sunshine. However, on the night of DeVotchKa's final show of the tour, onstage in an enormous arena in Mexico, Urata belted out the first few lines only to discover his microphone powered off-a simple mistake, but one that would later cause him to reflect deeply on his stake in life.
"You try not to make a big deal out of it, but you don't recover from that for the rest of the show," Urata says, now smiling at the memory. "It happened more than once on that tour. I was realizing how nearly anyone can sing, almost everybody has the ability, but if you want to perform for people, then you have to fight for it."
