Gogol Bordello are back with new single “Ignition,” along with a video starring award winning actor-director Liev Schreiber. The track is off Gogol Bordello’s forthcoming album We Mean It, Man!, produced by Nick Launay (Nick Cave, Gang of Four, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Amyl & The Sniffers, IDLES) and Adam “Atom” Greenspan (Amyl & The Sniffers, IDLES) out February 13, 2026 via frontman’s Eugene Hütz’s label Casa Gogol Records.

The band kick off their North American tour kicking off on February 13, including a homecoming show to New York’s Knockdown Center on March 27.

“Ignition” is about lifelong friendships, deeply set in post-punk groove and inspired by Gogol Bordello’s 2023 collaboration with Bernard Sumner (New Order, Joy Division). The music video celebrates friendship between Hütz and Schreiber, which began when Schreiber cast Hütz in his 2005 directorial debut, Everything Is Illuminated. Since then, Schreiber executive produced the Vice documentary Scream of My Blood: A Gogol Bordello Story, and the two have aligned creatively and politically, recently partnering with UNITED24 at Veselka. That shared history comes full circle with Schreiber starring in the music video for “Ignition” a kinetic visual companion to Hütz’s latest anthem.

Liev Schreiber says, “My brother from another mother. Ridiculously insane with the heart, mind, and voice of a poet,” while Eugene Hütz comments “‘Ignition’ is about the hardest currency there is: lifelong friendships and trust—the people who will come pull you out of a ditch at 5 a.m. I didn’t want musicians’ faulty acting to obscure that, so I called my friend Liev, who is exactly the kind of actor who embodies it effortlessly and powerfully, because he’s exactly that kind of person. I value our friendship tremendously, and with the 20th anniversary of ‘Everything Is Illuminated,’ it felt like the right time for a meaningful celebration.”
