Dear friends,

Many of you helped bring "We Were Made for These Times" into the world. This album was funded entirely by YOU.

Now it's time for us to give back.

This Sunday, the band gathered at The Falcon for a signing and fulfillment party, signing CDs, LPs, posters, and special perks that will soon be making their way to supporters around the world.

A special shout-out to our partners at Shamus Records — and especially Kathryn Ostien — for helping get all the merch and materials where they needed to be, right on time.

And a special thank you to our designer Ann Nikolaienko, who generously contributed some truly unique art perks from the album creation process, including original embroidery pieces and linocut prints.

And one more reminder: every dollar we receive from merch sales — online and at our shows — goes right back into supporting the album, videos, promotion, and future activities around this project.

If you'd like to support the album, you can order CDs, LPs, T-shirts, and other merch at klezmatics.com.

Thank you for believing in this music, supporting independent artists, and helping us make this album possible. We can't wait for these packages to reach you. ❤️

The Klezmatics Mit ihrem neuen Album 𝗪𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 schauen 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗞𝗹𝗲𝘇𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 nicht zurück, sondern klar nach vorn – trotz fast vier Jahrzehnten Bandgeschichte (oder gerade deswegen). 1986 im New Yorker East Village aus dem Klezmer-Revival entstanden, haben sie früh aufgehört, jüdische Festmusik wie ein Museumsstück zu behandeln. Stattdessen entwickelten sie ein offenes System, gespeist aus Jazz, Punk, Folk und globalen Sounds – ständig in Bewegung. Aus dieser Offenheit wächst die Dringlichkeit des Albums. Dabei wird die Musik nicht zur Nostalgie, sondern zum Gegenwartsmodus: Fragen nach Zugehörigkeit, Migration und sozialer Spannung stehen im Zentrum. Die Songs schaffen Raum für Widerstand und Verbindung zugleich – politisch aufgeladen, ohne ihre spirituelle Tiefe zu verlieren. Diese Vielstimmigkeit zeigt sich besonders in Texten und Kollaborationen. Stimmen von Woody Guthrie, Dovid Edelstadt oder Holly Near treffen auf ein internationales Netzwerk von Gästen wie Sofía Rei, Janis Siegel oder Joshua Nelson. Zwischen Protestlied, Arbeiterballade und spiritueller Suche entsteht ein Sound. Kein Sammelalbum, sondern ein Dialog – über Erinnerung, Identität und Zukunft. Im Titelsong bündelt sich die Philosophie der Band, inspiriert von Clarissa Pinkola Estés’ Botschaft: Wir sind für diese Zeiten gemacht.

With their new album *𝗪𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲* 𝘀, The Klezmatics aren’t looking back, but clearly forward—despite nearly four decades of band history (or perhaps precisely because of it). Emerging from the Klezmer revival in New York’s East Village in 1986, they stopped treating Jewish festive music like a museum piece early on. Instead, they developed an open system, drawing from jazz, punk, folk, and global sounds—constantly in motion. This openness gives rise to the album’s urgency. Yet the music does not become nostalgia, but rather a mode of the present: questions of belonging, migration, and social tension take center stage. The songs create space for both resistance and connection—politically charged without losing their spiritual depth. This polyphony is particularly evident in the lyrics and collaborations. Voices of Woody Guthrie, Dovid Edelstadt, and Holly Near meet an international network of guests such as Sofía Rei, Janis Siegel, and Joshua Nelson. A sound emerges that blends protest song, working-class ballad, and spiritual quest. Not a compilation album, but a dialogue—about memory, identity, and the future. The title track encapsulates the band’s philosophy, inspired by Clarissa Pinkola Estés’ message: We are made for these times.
