Right now, the world of folk music seems a glorious place. Hardcore traditionalists might hate the idea of progress, but it's an expanding universe, and this is a prime example, taking samples of Polish village music and slotting them in with accordion, distorted electric guitar, bass, drum and programming. Some of the music's traditional, some original, and there are interludes of village sounds (like the barking of dogs, which becomes a little disconcerting). It's quite deliberately an odd hybrid (but not as strange as an old album that features Polish family singing with a reggae band--in dub. Now that one's weird but wonderful), happy to stand outside categorization. One track is reminiscent of Nirvana, another offers a hint of dance music. One's called "Rammstein" after the German metal band, but doesn't sound at all metal. Sometimes the samples are obvious, sometimes they're barely used, or the music stands alone. It's an exercise in loving contradictions, inspired by the Polish villages--places that are themselves in transition, pushing into the 21st Century. It doesn't all work, it can be untidy and sprawling at times, but that's part of its point--it's avoiding any kind of perfection in favour of the homespun. And, of course, these days that includes recording technology. It's a large step away from Adamow's more traditionally-oriented last album, but it works in a strange, compelling way. It's a Poland that's both slipping into the past and also ready for the future, and yes, it's fab.--CN COPYRIGHT 2008 Sing Out Corporation COPYRIGHT 2008 Gale, Cengage Learning
