“Youth culture is always producing new brilliant music, and you just pray that you are there when it happens.” says Hütz, “As different as Puzzled Panther and Grace Bergere are, they have the right kind of newness and right kind of oldness about them. They arrived into this world as poets with a singular vision and superb knack for melodism. To me they are the new New York, which has a lot more in common with that magical old New York we know, and none of that bullshit in the middle.”

With Hütz’s recent announcement (Rolling Stone) of Casa Gogol Records, comes a timely collaboration cover of Angelic Upstarts’ “Solidarity” with Bernard Sumner (Joy Division, New Order) and Zachery Allan Starkey(Composer/Producer and New Order affiliate). Listen to Bernard Sumner’s “Right To Freedom” Mix and Gogol Bordello’s “Unity” Mix. This tribute to the punk and anti-Soviet movement will benefit injured Ukrainian soldiers through Kind Deeds, and stand in solidarity with oppressed groups worldwide.
