Since 1999, Gogol Bordello has released a series of albums whose neon covers speak volumes about the music within. But <em>Trans-Continental Hustle<\/em>, the group\u2019s latest, arrives with a muted cover shot of Hutz standing on a city street. The image suits the record, Hutz\u2019s least harried (\u201ccalm\u201d certainly isn\u2019t the word) yet.

The band still bum-rushes borders with songs of revolution and immigrant pride, but Hutz shows his romantic side, singing more about love than ever before.
