Gogol Bordello To Release “We Mean It, Man!” Album

Gogol Bordello have announced they will release We Mean It, Man!, a new album co-produced by Nick Launay and Adam “Atom” Greenspan that is due out on February 13th 2026 via frontman’s Eugene Hütz‘s label Casa Gogol Records. Gogol Bordello has always been a band that grows a new sonic tail each season, driven by relentless, primitive techno-like beats, optimistic energy, clever socio-political lyricism, the band grounds themselves in hyper-futuristic Post-Punk textures that entrance crowds and new listeners alike, inviting them into the “Wild Sonic West.” The band’s legendary New Year’s Eve shows were also announced along with a North American tour kicking off next year on February 13th, including a homecoming show at New York’s Knockdown Center on March 27th.

For We Mean It, Man!, Gogol Bordello collaborated with Nick Launay and Adam “Atom” Greenspan to knock out twelve super-punchy, hook-laden songs, fusing Gogol Bordello‘s raw energy with and boiled down song form with electronic layers, loops and gated-drum rhythms, a bold evolution of the experiments first explored on the Steve Albini produced album, Gypsy Punks. The album also includes their latest take on Solidarity, which features Bernard Sumner (New Order / Joy Division) on the Angelic Upstarts‘ Solidarność-Punk anthem.

“Gogol Bordello has always been a cross-pollinator. And ‘We Mean It Man!’ brings all our original inspirations together more than any other: punk, gypsy music, hardcore, and techno. I conceived this album as a collaboration with one of my favorite producers of all time, Nick Launay, who’s been so much responsible for the flourishing of post-punk as a genre. In terms of boiled down multimedia collage this is the best Frankenstein we’ve done since Gypsy Punks. This is our post-punk groove revenge.” (Frontman Eugene Hütz)
