It's not the first time this outfit have turned Polish folk music inside out: they released an album of dub remixes earlier in the year.
Here the deconstruction and reinvention go up a further gear, due to the inclusion of some of their own mercurial, idiosyncratic compositions alongside the traditional tunes. The two female vocalists' harmonies are complemented by the cheerful bounce of the dulcimer, some angular rasping violins, and the baggy thud of the frame drum keeping everything earthbound.
Pick of the Album: The breakbeats and Bjorkish vocals of 'Skip Funk'
