Trans-Continental Hustle is the fifth release from worldly gypsy-rockers Gogol Bordello. As always they are fronted by the unruly, scruffy and oddly magnetic singer-songwriter Eugene Hutz. Hutz was born and raised in the Ukraine and, as such, the group have always had a sound which is hard to pin down as it drifts between continents. [...]

But over 20 years since their inception and five years since their last album, The Garden Of Unearthly Delights, Cathedral have dropped one of their most adventurous records to date.
