World/Inferno Friendship Society, 'Red-Eyed Soul' (Chunksaah)

Fanciful storytelling from carnivalesque Brooklyn clan.

The two bands that Franz Nicolay plays keyboards for -- the Hold Steady and World/Inferno Friendship Society -- share a drunken, wild-eyed aesthetic. But while the former group is classic rock and proud, the latter plays oft-frantic cabaret punk with heavy klezmer touches. On Red-Eyed Soul, W/IFS sing about the circus, Paul Robeson, and pretty anarchists, with a beery insouciance that makes up for their occasional overexcitability.
