Una Volta, DeVotchKa's third studio album, came out in 2003, following Triple X Tango, from the Denver ensemble that had been building a cult following since forming in 1997. The name comes from devochka, the Russian word for "girl", and the band's arsenal is as unlikely as that sounds: theremin, bouzouki, violin, accordion and sousaphone alongside guitar and drums.

It belongs to the run of early albums that earned critical praise and a growing fanbase, a few years before the band's score for Little Miss Sunshine blew the doors open. "Queen of the Surface Streets" shows the recipe, part Old World waltz, part spaghetti Western, all heartache.
