Music Makes Us

This album just came out in March and I accidentally found it while looking for some albums from the female street punk band The Devotchkas. After looking them up I asked a few friends about them, and only a couple people were listening to them. DeVotchKa is a four piece multi-instrumental and vocal ensemble that fuses Romani, Greek, Slavic, and Bolero, music with American punk and folk roots. They take their name from Anthony Burgess’ Nadsat (the language used throughout ‘A Clockwork Orange’) word for “young girl,” which is itself derived from the Russian word devochka(девочка) of the same meaning. Based in Denver, Colorado, the quartet is made up of Nick Urata, who sings and plays theremin, guitar, bouzouki, piano…
