Firewater - International Orange! [LP]

Created in Istanbul and Tel Aviv during the 2011 Arab Spring, International Orange captures the frenetic pulse of a world in the state of flux. The songs tap into grooves as disparate as Turkish maqsoum, Punjabi bhangra, Jamaican ska, Greek rebetiko, classic punk and even old-school mambo. "Using anything but mainstream methods to create their music, many of the songs from International Orange are reminiscent of Joe Strummer's albums with the Mescaleros. If you dig music that follows it's own path, straying away from the schlock most radio stations jam in your ears these days, then this album is for you." - EXAMINER
