Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by Victor Van Vugt, this fourth studio effort solidifies the group's reputation for 'immigrant punk'鈥攁 high-velocity blend of Romani melodies and New York hardcore energy. The recording features an expanded instrumental palette including accordion and violin, used to drive frantic, danceable rhythms. Frontman Eugene H眉tz delivers multilingual lyrics that address cultural displacement and the trans-continental experience of the working immigrant.
