"Isle of Klezbos shares their wide-ranging tastes and astonishing chops in an array of raucous dances, modal trances, soaring Yiddish swing solos, haunting lullaby, and brand-new originals. The much-anticipated debut full-length album by New York's notorious and much-loved all-star, all-female klezmer sextet deftly explores a musical panorama including innovative live-performance bonus tracks and lesser-known klezmer gems. The group proudly acknowledges their entertainment value while creating work that is also beautiful, plaintive and vibrant. Groove-oriented meditations, a catchy & irony-tinged post-modern waltz, revamped high-energy classics, and even klezmerengue keep the listening landscape eclectic and everchanging. All in a CD enwrapped by fabulous graphics, full lyrics & translation, and lovingly lucid liner notes, with extra-special back cover guest artwork by Alison Bechdel (Dykes To Watch Out For)."
