꒰ ㅤㅤ    The Fourth Unternational by Daniel Kahn.  ㅤㅤ੭


ꢤ   Later album of Daniel Kahn, a Jewish artist who makes music with a hard-to-place genre. It was made in 2020, the third of he and Psoy Korolenko's Unternational projects. Daniel Kahn is an artist who comes from Detroit and is a leading figure in the resurrection of modern klezmer music. This album is both not for the weak, but also one that many should hear as it touches on many different subjects through intense klezmer-themed instruments.    ㅤ۶ৎ

1. Eretz Thuringen  01:36

10. L’Unternationale
  06:17

ꢤ   Top three: Ekh Lyuli Revisted, Israel Nothing, Eretz Thuringen

ꢤ   Random Fact: I didn't realize how new this album was until writing this, but it is definitely needed now given the political state of the world. Very well-timed and very well-played. 

ꢤ   Album rating: 8/10, depending on the person though! The genre is not for everyone and the lyrics can throw people off, but it is perfect for those who enjoy the dark aspect of the dark cabaret and dark wave genre. 

ꢤ   What is the description of the album from the artist? "The third release from The Unternationale - known as Daniel Kahn & Psoy Korolenko. The Fourth Unternational - dialectical klezmer cabaret feat Polyglot Punk Poet Daniel Kahn and Avant-Bard Psoy Korolenko. Be ready for a continuation of a dizzying balladic orgy of –isms: Socialism, Zionism, antizionism, chassidism, nationalism, alcoholism and modernism, all in alternating English, Russian and Yiddish."
