Recorded in Montreal at the Hotel2Tango studio, the debut album from Black Ox Orkestar revitalizes the spirit of pre-war Yiddish music through a post-rock lens. '?װער טאַנצט [Ver Tanzt?]' utilizes traditional instrumentation to create a stark, evocative soundscape that avoids the upbeat tropes often associated with Klezmer. The ensemble focuses on the darker, more meditative aspects of the genre, emphasizing themes of loss and cultural memory.
