“Yiddish ammunition to fan the flames of discontent.”

— Michael Wex, author of Born to Kvetch

  • "This latest collection from Brivele sings the past out of the archive and into the streets to fight, to struggle, to laugh, to mourn."

    Ozzy Irving Gold-Shapiro

  • "There is serious Yiddish song scholarship, serious musicianship, and gorgeous, spine-tingling harmonies here. And laughs, and defiance. I love this record."

    “Yiddish ammunition to fan the flames of discontent."

    -Michael Wex, author of Born to Kvetch

  • "Brivele's gift as a band is their ability to go between the dark and the light, the serious and the witty, all with a deep sense of tradition, and abandon of tradition."

    Michael Winograd

  • "So many of these songs seem to have been just waiting for us to really need them. And gevald do we need them now. The songs are the tools. Brivele shows us how to use them."

    Daniel Kahn

  • "There is so much expansive thought and acoustic creativity in this skhoyre, I will return to it endlessly for inspiration."

    Jenny Romaine

  • "Brivele brings Yiddish song and sensibility into the world of punk-folk like it was always meant to be with tight vocal harmonies, creative arrangements, and hard hitting political clarity."

    Dan Blacksberg

  • "Brivele keeps Yiddish music and folk punk evolving with dreamy, theatrical, poetic, and revolutionary songs."

    Mark Gunnery

  • “A new generation of Yiddish punk folk singing has arrived and it is really, really good.”
