Devotchka's music has always had a cinematic quality, first unveiled to major audiences as part of the successful indie flick "Little Miss Sunshine". The last track on that soundtrack was "How It Ends" and since then, its melancholic vocal nuances have been a recurrent inspiration, also used in the "Everything Is Illuminated" trailer. Its most original synchronization to date has to be the recent "Gears Of War 2" commercial. Maybe an odd choice to end up as background music for audiovisual battles against aliens, but Nick Urata's tenor grandeur and the fine strings and piano arrangements added a shockingly new epic dimension to the sophisticated, computer-generated images of the popular Xbox videogame. ©2008 Shazam Entertainment Limited.
