La Strada releases “New Home”: party at the knit on 04.30

La Strada, recently winners of the Deli’s “Band of the Month” poll, will be celebrating the release of their album, “New Home,” at the stunning new Knitting Factory in Williamsburg on April 30. These six Brooklynites have come together to produce the richness of a small orchestra with a bounty of instrumental variety. Highlight tracks, such as delicate and melodious “My New Home,” lively and shuffling “Wash on By,” and tender and peaceful “Julia,” intermingle airy strings, beaming horns, dizzying accordion lines, and chiming glockenspiel and triangle embellishments, with high-flying vocals and tricky rhythms. “New Home” was released on April 20, the first date of La Strada’s two week Spring tour. It would be a wise decision to take the band up on what they propose: “La Strada wants to marry you! Please say, "I do.’" – Meijin Bruttomesso
