Kaizers Orchestra - Maestro (Limited edition with Bonus CD)

There’s no conventional way to describe the music of Norwegian six-piece Kaizer's Orchestra sounds. The band’s name gives one insight, they’re definitely an orchestra of some kind, albeit a completely unheard of kind. Their sound is typified by a mix of alley-pan drums, raucous horns and dirty jazz guitar. The band’s website takes a wild stab at classifying the sex-piece, announcing: “Their style of music is rock, with a major Eastern European flavour, à la Tom Waits.” If nothing else, they’re cultured. The website spiel goes on to declare: “The line-up features drums and electric guitar, which goes without saying, plus double bass, a pump organ and oil barrels plus whatever junk they find along the way.” If nothing else, they’re slightly insane.
