נישט אזױ [Nisht Azoy] cover art

Refining their exploration of Jewish diasporic music, the second album from this Montreal quartet incorporates Yiddish vocal traditions with modern chamber arrangements. 'נישט אזױ [Nisht Azoy]' features members of Thee Silver Mt. Zion and Sackville performing on acoustic instruments like cymbalum, violin, and mandolin. The record functions as both a preservation of cultural history and a contemporary reinterpretation of Eastern European folk structures.
