Gogol Bordello - We Mean It, Man!

Fakta For this new Gogol Bordello album, songwriter Eugene Hutz set out to blend post-punk textures and aggro to Gogol Bordello's free-wheeling gypsy-punk - He chose to work with the production team of Nick Launay (Gang of Four, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Idles) and Adam "Atom" Greenspan (Nick Cave, Idles, Flogging Molly) to accomplish this goal - Together with his long running band, they knocked out twelve super punchy and hook-laden songs The title track, We Mean It, Man! is all pile-driving punk intensity which crescendoes into no-wave sax skronk. "No Time For Idiots" is a Strummer/Jones-esque riff-punk with a giant chorus payoff. "Life Is Possible Again" voices an optimism against the dread of the Ukraine war. "Solidarity" features New Order's Bernard Sumner on the Cockney Rejects Solidarnosc-punk anthem updated to address the Ukraine war effort. This is the album and political message the world needs now.
