...‘new kids on the block’, Super Taranta! being their fifth studio album. The band ethic is that they want to bring gypsy music to the westernised world, and it is not a futile cause after their recent success with album Underdog World Strike and the song for which they are best known, Start Wearing Purple.
Ultimate is the fitting title track, and really encompasses the bands’ live for today outlook, “there are no good old days/they are today/they ... ...name to the album title, Super Taranta! itself.
Gogol Bordello have really come on in leaps and bounds musically since their last outing, and all for the better. This band is the hottest circus around and I would sincerely recommend that you make an effort to catch them live.
