We proudly announce the new album of Daniel Kahn & The Painted Bird:
THE BUTCHER'S SHARE
Daniel Kahn and The Painted Bird live up for their name as "radical Yiddish borderland bandistas with punk attitude” with their new album The Butcher's Share, the first in five long years. It is the most powerful and complex work of the band so far and is dedicated to the great political and personal themes of our time. Featuring a killer line-up (Christian Dawid, Michael Tuttle, Hampus Melin, Jake Shulman-Ment with guest vocalists Sarah Gordon, Michael Alpert, Sasha Lurje, Lorin Sklamberg, Psoy Korolenko, and more), these are revolutionary anthems for the apocalypse. Sometimes funny, sometimes nightmarish, sometimes deadly sorrowful, this collection of originals, translations, and adaptations smuggles songs over the borders between languages, histories, cultures, and genres: Punk, Klezmer, jazz, Brecht, Waits, and folk ballads are all part of the sound.
CD & LP will be released at November 17 and can be preordered in Oriente Musik's webshop. Download available from Nov 17.
Please find all tour dates in the corresponding section of this website or at Konzertagentur Berthold Seliger.
