Nisht Azoy is a heavy album. Black Ox Orkestar's contrabass player, Theirry Amar, has been a longstanding member of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, while violinist Jessica Moss is part of Godspeed's close relation A Silver Mt Zion. Orkestar's take on traditional Yiddish music has the same portentous sense of weight and drama that runs through Godspeed You! like a quiet lead stream. The music is recognisably influenced by post-rock, yet you wouldn't mistake Black Ox Orkestar for any other band. They're the darkest, densest folk group around. --Deanne Sole
