GOGOL BORDELLO ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM
OUT 13TH FEBRUARY
CO-PRODUCED BY NICK LAUNAY & ADAM “ATOM” GREENSPAN (NICK CAVE, GANG OF FOUR, YEAH YEAH YEAHS, IDLES)
UPLIFTING DANCEFLOOR SINGLE
“HATER LIQUIDATOR” OUT NOW + NEW YEAR’S EVE SHOWS & NORTH AMERICAN TOUR
For ‘We Mean It, Man!’, Gogol Bordello collaborated with Nick Launay (Nick Cave, Gang of Four, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Amyl & The Sniffers, IDLES) and Adam “Atom” Greenspan (Amyl & The Sniffers, IDLES) to knock out twelve super-punchy, hook-laden songs, fusing Gogol Bordello’s raw energy with and boiled down song form with electronic layers, loops and gated-drum rhythms – a bold evolution of the experiments first explored on Gypsy Punks (produced by Steve Albini).
“No Time For Idiots” lands as a Strummer/Jones-esque riff-punk blast with a massive chorus payoff, while “Life Is Possible Again” channels sharp optimism against all odds. Their latest take on “Solidarity” again features Bernard Sumner on the Angelic Upstarts’ Solidarność-punk anthem.
Frontman Eugene Hütz says “Gogol Bordello has always been a cross-pollinator. And ‘We Mean It Man!’ brings all our original inspirations together more than any other: punk, gypsy music, hardcore, and techno. I conceived this album as a collaboration with one of my favorite producers of all time, Nick Launay, who’s been so much responsible for the flourishing of post-punk as a genre. In terms of boiled down multimedia collage this is the best Frankenstein we’ve done since Gypsy Punks. This is our post-punk groove revenge”.
Gogol Bordello recently performed at the World Forum for Democracy in Strasbourg, capping off their two month European tour with support acts Son Rompe Pera, Split Dogs & Puzzled Panther,who just released psychedelic Manchester-meets-New York EP ‘Fits of Serenity’.
