Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as a bridge between 'Gulag Orkestar' and 'The Flying Club Cup', Zach Condon introduces his expanded touring ensemble into the recording studio. The EP features remarkably lush, full-band arrangements of his signature Balkan brass-influenced indie folk, including a beautifully reimagined version of the fan-favorite 'Scenic World'.
