The third album of our triple release of October 16th is Geoff Berner's:

WE ARE GOING TO BREMEN TO BE MUSICIANS


Subtitled "A Compendium of Klezmer-Punk Strategies Against Despair" the new album of singer/songwriter/accordionist/novelist and "whiskey rabbi" Geoff Berner combines klezmer (for the uninitiated, the folk music of Eastern European Jews), punk, political satire and Balkan dance rhythms. He writes sharp, literate songs that can make you want to weep, laugh, grind your teeth, or kick out a window. Often all at the same time. “We Are Going To Bremen To Be Musicians” is his first original album in 4 years. He says that it’s “meant to be powerful cheering-up medicine that you don’t have to turn your brain off for.”
