Traband, from the Czech Republic, is full of surprises. This is not typical 'czech' music. On their fourth and probably the most manifold album in the band's history summarizes everything what the band has been through during its almost ten-year existence. A fair amount of music mixed of folk, punk, ska, hip-hop, country and folk music from all possible corners of the world is served here from one cauldron. Traband has not only used the 'time-tested' Balkans and Jewish klezmer in its music, but it has been also inspired for example by folk music from Moravia, Ireland, Bretagne, Mexico or Peru. However in essence of this musical omnivorousness there is nothing else than ordinary, solid song embellished by for some people maybe unusual instruments: tuba, trumpet, bass flugelhorn, clarinet, banjo, accordion etc.
Behind the stories with a tinge of fairytales, myths, exotics these songs have been always hiding some allegory, resemblance, which refers to the present in space and time. For example the song 'A Rope That Binds Us to Heaven' is actually a simple almost marine song and at the same time a profession of faith. The song 'I Don't Like Dwarfs' is also about the citizenship in us. The song 'Stowaway' is in reality about the life failure in freedom
