Una Volta

DeVotchKa

Accordion-led noir that sounds like a traveling circus stranded in the Mojave. Haunting theremin melodies and operatic vocals over dusty, cinematic folk-rock.

May 20, 2003 · Cicero Recordings

A hauntingly romantic blend of desert isolation and theatrical longing.

The way the theremin mimics a human sob over the driving accordion rhythm in track one.
