100 Lovers is a sweeping musical adventure into the life of a modern day gypsy. The album starts with a delicate piano that slowly builds until it is flooded by the epic vocals of lead singer, Nick Urata. From there, its hard not to get seduced by the hypnotizing power and emotion that are in the songs. The album definitely has a progression into the more exotic Slavic folk, mariachi sound that has made DeVotchKa unique. Unfortunately for me, I'm just not as deeply drawn to this side of their music, which probably polarizes alot of other listeners too. Since I don't think they should abandon who they are as a band, I'll settle with an excellent four song opening.
Notable Tracks:
1. "The Alley"
2. "All the Sand in All the Sea"
3. "One Hundred Other Lovers"
4. "The Common Good"
