And though the album sags a little towards the end, with a few shorter instrumental numbers, it’s still an invigorating journey, a caravan of cavorting musicians, careening through the countryside, stopping only to play festivals and funerals.

A curious, klezmer-infested charm.

If you liked Beirut, you’ll love this.

UncutVivid, diverse and faintly trippy. [Nov 2006, p.99]

Another stellar song collection.

Under The RadarThis is his best yet. [#15]

The potency of AHAAH's genres of choice are both the album’s difficulty and strength; if you aren’t partial to Balkan brass, klezmer or mariachi, abandon all hope of sticking this one out.
