Self-styled gypsy punk act Gogol Bordello has announced plans to release a new album this summer. The record is titled Super Taranta and is due out July 10, 2007. It is the follow-up to Gypsy Punks: Underdog World Strike which was released in 2005.

For the record, the band worked with producer Victor Van Vugt (Nick Cave, PJ Harvey) and bandleader Eugene Hutz notes:

With Super Taranta! Gogol Bordello is going to conquer the world. Everything on the album is taken to the next level. It’s more direct, more abstract, more focused, with more dark humor. The dub parts are deeper; the fast parts are faster, its pure orgasmo hysteria.

ictor has been a fan since the beginning of the band and we often spoke about making an album together. He’s not afraid to experiment in any way; he’ll go wherever we’re willing to go. If we say: ‘This track is gypsy speed metal dub,’ he says: ‘OK let’s do it.’ No hesitation.”
