AUGUST 24 NEWS
Post-heatwave scribblings hatched in a tub and snatched from our newsletter, featuring 2 new releases and a tour announcement!
OUT AUGUST 21: YOUNES ZARHONI - S/T
That’s today indeed ~ The long-awaited debut of Brussels based multidisciplinary artist Younes Zarhoni and his quadraphonic vocals-based project that’s been making some hard rounds the past two years. The stark power of these polyphonically layered chants in Arabic, affixed by the depths of calculated silence, creates an immersive and suspenseful sonic experience that transcends time and influence, space and place. A 20-minute pause of intrepid enjoyment, recalling Gregorian chants with an R&B twang from a modern-day sound explorer.
We’re already running pretty low on copies, so get yours over at our Bandcamp or at one of the multiple shows he’ll be playing in the coming weeks. Speaking of:
