Quel Bordel! are self proclaimed “world punk” and are going out of their usual wheelhouse, venturing into new territory of instrumental jazz on their new album, Dinner for Derelicts, releasing a multi-song dinner video to accompany a good portion of the album.
“We figure there’s enough shouting and screaming going on in the world already right now” says frontman Jakovich. “So we wanted to give our fans some chill music to have dinner to and give everyone an excuse to just chill out and enjoy each other’s company. We all could take a moment and just vibe out to some sweet tunes over a good meal.”
Jakovich qualifies the statement, saying that the Quel Bordel! fans have come to know and love will be back, but that the band wanted to do something “totally different” this time.
The band took advantage of their time during the pandemic, starting with just a couple songs to explore a new musical style and quickly morphing those couple of tracks into a full album. The album includes five covers and five originals, each taking on Quel Bordel!’s unique sound and fresh interpretation.
