God Bless the Ottoman Empire has been stuck in my head for over a month... People get together/ With others/ That look like them// They love each other/ And grow old together// People grow old together/ With others/ That look like them// They grow/ Sick of the other/ But they need/ One another // On repeat FOREVER. Thanks, brain.

this is pure balkan music (there's little experimentation but overall it's balkan style). if they're an independent band then mark it as "indie", other discussions make no sense. it's balkan music and I should know I've been living here for 22 years now.

What kind of music is which I couldn't turn off all dawn time when wasn't able to sleep or studying or anything else; it feeded my nervous system.

I tried listening to Neutral Milk Hotel but this is so much better. I honestly can't take Jeff Mangum seriously.

I like to watch youtube videos of gigantic circle pits and walls of death on mute while playing this band. Very amusing.

For anyone who likes the weirdness of early A Hawk and a Hacksaw (I'm thinking largely of "Darkness at Noon") should try Zelwer/Jean-Marc Zelwer/La Kumpania Zelwer. I find his music a good pair to much of A Hawk and a Hacksaw. I would start with "La Fiancee Aux Yeux De Bois" or "Daissa".

since i'm from balkan, i can say it they sound too "balkan" actually, it would be better if they ease off a bit and add more western or pop sound too it. also the fact that they are americans doesnt change a bit, they would fit just fine in any of the gypsy "orchestra" bands like Goran Bregovic's etc.

There's nothing wrong with people outside the Balkans playing music from those parts. Music is not an exclusive right.

@Buhajj, I do see the point you make, but I rather think these american fusion bands are like a platform for people to discover new (or old) musical styles. The transition is a little more subtle that way.

I love their music, melodies rhytms emotions are there alright. But don't like when the guy sings - it's pretentious,cutsy thing, like the Old World seen from across the Big Ocean. I agree with the comment that "american balkan is not balkan. beirut is not balkan. A Hawk and a Hacksaw is not balkan. It's a new genre." Are you guys not afraid that the cuter they get the more is the risk their music is vacuum-packed ready for consumption for Western audiences? Just a thought.
