East European folk (with a touch of jazz) by a Toronto-based band with a playful style, wicked musicianship and a sense of both wacky fun and intense emotion. Violins, accordion, mandolin, clarinet, vocals and more combine to create a rich and original mix. All tracks a delight. 1. Like a sassy, upbeat blend of the Balkins and Keystone Cops. 2. Slow melodic, quietly dramatic. 3. Crazy fast intro, insistently percussive strings, cool clarinet. 4. Slow and evocative strings, like something from a Fellini film. 5. Sweet string harmonies in a mid/upbeat Klezmer folk stomp. 6. Slow w/husky fem Yiddish vocals. Gorgeous. 7. Upbeat and happy with a bouncy feeling & fabulous playing. 8. Driving and unexpected with more than a hint of jazz. 9. Slow, like chamber music, with a dramatic flair. 10. Snaky midtempo wander with great interplays. 11. Upbeat wiggle w/a Latin spice and a lively groove. 12. Mid/upbeat Romanian swing w/female vocals and warm sound. 13. Clarinet/accordion duet, slow and dramatic. Great playing. 14. Upbeat jam w/some great solos and fun energy. 15. Downtempo, dramatic, w/vocals. Beautiful lullaby-like. 16. Wicked fast dance w/great strings. Yow! | ||
