"Once you&amp;apos;ve made a record with Rick Rubin, where do you go from there? If you&amp;apos;re gypsy punks Gogol Bordello, you go to Rubin&amp;apos;s right-hand man.\r\n&amp;quot;We&amp;apos;re going to be working with Andrew Sheps,&amp;quot; who worked as an engineer on Gogol Bordello&amp;apos;s last album, Trans-Continental Hustle, bandleader Eugene H&amp;#xFC;tz tells Rolling Stone. &amp;quot;He did all those records with Rick &amp;#x2013; System of a Down and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. We just have a great chemistry.&amp;quot;\r\nGogol Bordello&amp;apos;s forthcoming studio album has a working title of Pura Vida Conspiracy and a projected release of May 2013. Although H&amp;#xFC;tz is originally from the Ukraine and formed Gogol Bordello in New York City, the group has a new home away from home, where fans will be getting a preview of the new tunes.\r\n&amp;quot;We are right now in South America,&amp;quot; says H&amp;#xFC;tz. &amp;quot;I basically officially finished writing the new album and I just sent out demos to all the band. We are going to go on the road and test-drive it in South America. South America is becoming one of the new priorities.&amp;quot;\r\nComing off the highest-charting album of their career (Hustle peaked at number 62 on the U.S. album charts), Pura Vida Conspiracy is shaping up potentially to be Gogol Bordello&amp;apos;s commercial breakthrough. H&amp;#xFC;tz plans to put to use what he learned from Rubin on the forthcoming album, which should include such songs as &amp;quot;We Who Dig Deep Enough,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Gypsy Autopilot&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;1+1=1.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;The album, I&amp;apos;m super-excited about it, because the last time, we worked with Rick Rubin, and that was a great school. And now I feel a lot of what we accomplished during that period kind of went into our &amp;apos;cooker,&amp;apos; and only more developed by this time. This record will show the band getting stronger and more precise as the music gets more adventurous. I&amp;apos;m pretty psyched about this.&amp;quot;\r\nH&amp;#xFC;tz is excited about how well he and his bandmates are currently gelling musically, which bodes well for Pura Vida Conspiracy: &amp;quot;The band is like a wild, galloping horse now. As a composer, anything I have in mind, they can basically lay it out with Gogol Bordello. I think rhythmically, it&amp;apos;s gotten a lot broader.&amp;quot;\r\nIn addition to Gogol Bordello&amp;apos;s aforementioned South America tour dates, a pair of Canadian dates and a lone San Francisco gig are planned for year&amp;apos;s end. However, H&amp;#xFC;tz promises to extensively promote Pura Vida Conspiracy the only way he and his bandmates know how. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s going to be massively supported by touring. Of course &amp;#x2013; that&amp;apos;s what we do!&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
