Solidaritine is a 2022 studio album by American Gypsy punk band Gogol Bordello. It has received positive reviews from critics. The album has a theme of supporting the Ukrainian people in the Russo-Ukraine War and was supported by a tour[2] that included performing for Ukrainian soldiers.[3][4]
Editors at AllMusic Guide rated this album 4.5 out of five stars, calling it among the best of 2022, with critic Thom Jurek writing that the music has diversity with, "many different folk styles here, all are given utterance through punk and post-punk" and summing up "its canny songwriting and sophisticated musicianship combined with [Walter] Schreifels' raw production make this album one of the band's finest to date".[1] Writing for The Arts Desk, Guy Oddy rated this album three out of five stars, praising the band for not "resorting to sloganeering" while using their music for political advocacy, but lamenting that "it’s yet another album that really doesn’t do justice to a band whose explosive shows are nothing less than spectacular".[5]InLouder Than War, Steve John proposed that Solidaritine "may be one of the most urgent and personal albums of this or any other year it isn’t just a soundtrack to a war".[3] Bob Fish of Spectrum Culture rates this release four out of five stars, calling it "an album that stands up to the forces of hate and bigotry".[6]
