It is difficult to believe, but 21 years have gone by since DeVotchKa released its 2004 album, “How It Ends.” For many, this fourth full-length offering from the Denver-based foursome is a defining masterpiece. The rich blend of strings and folksong stylings, punk instincts, and cinematic soundscapes on How It Ends are woven throughout songs such as “You Love me,” “Twenty-Six Temptations,” and “Dearly Departed” continue to captivate listeners. Not the least of whom are filmmakers Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris.
