POSTCARDS (2009, Borealis Records)
The long-awaited third CD from Beyond the Pale, POSTCARDS features the band at a creative peak in this sophisticated collection of North American-inflected, east-European roots fusion. Traversing a vast and exotic musical landscape, POSTCARDS moves seamlessly from raucous dance rhythms and funky acoustic grooves to complex instrumental showpieces and chamber-music like aesthetics. Shaped by many musical traditions but bound by none, POSTCARDS is a stunning redefinition of contemporary Klezmer and east European folk/roots music. Feature guest vocalist Vira Lozinsky (Isreal) on premiere arrangements of new Yiddish songs set to timeless Roma melodies.Winner “Best CD of 2009 – multi-genre category” Indie Acoustic Project
