Special two CD reissue on the 4AD label of this critically-acclaimed debut release featuring a bonus disc with five tracks: 'Elephant Gun', 'My Family's Role In The World Revolution', 'Scenic World' (Version), 'Long Island Sound' and 'Carousels'. The album swirls and sways with a procession of horns, violins, cellos, ukuleles, mandolins, glockenspiels, drums, tambourines, congas, organs, pianos, clarinets and accordions in a wonderfully brash, drunken sound which whirls around Zach's histrionic and bewitchingly plaintive vocals. From the lush trumpet, rhythmically plucked ukulele and somersaulting, emotive croon of `Postcards From Italy' through to the bustling ghetto sound of `Bratislava'. Gulag Orkestar is a brave and passionate global m?lange full of energy, beauty and mystery. Pitchfork declared it to be 'beautiful and disarming', while Drowned In Sound said it is 'precocious, other-worldly and vividly ambitious' while Billboard says 'this is serious music for serious listeners'. 4AD. 2006.
