Ipso Facto, _La Spirale de L´Escargot_

31 Jan 2003


      Fine new album by Montréal quartet named Ipso Facto, _La Spirale de 
L´Escargot_ (Monsieur Fauteux M´entendez-Vous?). Coolly swaying 
violin/acoustic guitar-led rhumbas, klezmer, Balkan, all different 
styles and very well integrated (all written by the guitarist, no 
covers). Very inventive drummer to boot. Would fit comfortably 
alongside many a Tzadik RJC release.
