Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded heavily during sessions in Brazil, the Kyiv-based quartet continues to proudly push the boundaries of their self-described 'ethno-chaos' sound. The deeply rhythmic album intertwines traditional Ukrainian polyphony and theatrical cabaret influences with progressive instrumentation, notably expanding their use of horns and piano.
