The nine-piece gypsy punk outfit from New York City returns with its first platter in nearly three years with Trans-Continental Hustle.
The band has been doing the trans-continental shuffle thanks to an exhaustive touring schedule over the last few years which has notably raised its profile. Its last effort, 2007's Super Taranta!, appeared on Rolling Stone magazine's best albums of the year list, and a guest appearance with Madonna of all unlikely people didn't hurt either.
Rick Rubin, the producer behind Johnny Cash's posthumous albums and some of the Beastie Boys classic material, steps behind the control board for this effort.
Trans-Continental Hustle is the group's fifth record and third for SideOne Dummy.
