Album Review
>>
If, like me, you find Balkan brass band music to be kind of fun but just a bit too relentlessly frenetic for your tastes, and also have a taste for ska and edgy postpunk rock, then check out this album from a Moldavian former ska-punk band. You'll still hear hints of their past in the occasional chugging backbeat, and the horns are prominently and skillfully wielded. But their sound is also carefully constructed, the melodic hooks are real, and the energy is both undeniable and controlled. Nice stuff. (RA) 03/06/12
