What we say
What the label says:Evenly split between instrumentals and vocal tunes, this debut album is
a compelling blend of originals and new arrangements for pieces pulled
from various Eastern European songbooks. The band aims to expand the
definition of Jewish diasporic music, by learning and reinterpreting
songs and rhythms from all over Slavic and Balkan Europe. Lyrics are in
Yiddish and aim to speak forcefully to the bloody history and
intractable contradictions of Jewish diaspora and 'return'. With
backgrounds in punk-rock, free-jazz, and other liberation musics, the
all-acoustic playing on this record benefits from a genuinely spirited
delivery and intensely original approaches to arrangements that never
feel forced. This is modern folk music from Eastern European sources
played strong, unburdened by antiseptic production and/or cheap
sentimentality. |
