Beirut and Devotchka share an old-fashioned sound, mired in gloom but hopeful when you least expect it. And the singers for each have haunting, operatic voices. Drama they lack not. “Nantes” and “New World” are also beautiful, in an other-worldly way. I usually don’t go in for this sort of twee shoegazing, but in this case, I can’t resist.
