Ottawa Citizen, CD Review >>
On its third album, this six-member bjand adds youthful intensity to traditional Polish folk music, shouting out and unison-singing about meetings with the devil, doomed romances and sinister games of the heart.
The brief explanatory notes for each track make it unnecessary to Understand the lyrics, as the scraping ofszuka, the sawing of violin and cello and the shimmer of dulcimer make for tense, moody and haunting settings that just manage to defeat the threat of sameness. And if the band's hard-core approach is the chief weapon in bringing the sound of their roots into the future, the scratching on Woman in Hell and When Johnny Went to Fight in the War helps make the point with added force.
