This can be considered a break from my usual posts, because..it’s gypsy folk. Contrary to what this blog may lead one to believe, I do like folk music. With their accordian, Cello and Strings, La Strada offers a breath of fresh air in the indie music scene. They may be from Brooklyn but their music is anything but that, with roots in Europe and drawing inspiration from baltic folk tales. Starling is one of my favorite songs by them. Think Beirut and Neutral Milk Hotel. In fact they are named after the famous Fellini Italian neorealism film La Strada. Check out their page for more music.
Here is a visual allegory for their music. Enjoy New York in sepia in this awesome video.
