Somebody Else

“winding steel rumbles with grace, a perpetual palindrome of a ritual unspoken
the soul vigilant, the mind weary, the heart mischievous, blood will rush through
howls of an enchanted you, as electric as the ocean blue, sway by the fire of the forest within
for the willows shalt creep deep, right under your skin”


Using guitar, guembri and karakeb (both ritual instruments from Gnawas), a Roland synth and multiple effect pedals, multidisciplinary artist Nadia Daou as NAR foleys what sounds like a plethora of colorful eastern samples interrupted by abrasive segments, soundtracking a bleak golden hour. The set sways heavily through fields of sonic emotion, and her enchanting vocals – at times composed of Arabic poetry sung in a tribal tone and at others exclaimed like a march anthem – gently emerging and disappearing like vapor
