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.
