Printed Caves – Printed Caves (CD)




Printed Caves are Ali Lubbad (lead vocals, guitars, trap set and Arabic percussion), and Mike Kashou (oud, bass, Arabic percussion, trumpet, piano and background vocals). There`s also a lot of guess musicians on this album. Printed Caves come from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. The music blends western experimentations with Middle Easter traditions. I was hoping it would sound like Muslimgauze (electronic / techno music + noise + Arabic percussions / vocal samples = sonic bliss). Boy was I wrong here folks. There`s 10 tracks for a total running time of 34.00 minutes). Their music is a weird but potent mix of folk, blues, country, traditional rock with psychedelic grooves on the side, thus generating a highly hypnotic mood. You don`t need drugs here. This album is the ultimate legal drug. It sounds like a jam session between traditional Middle Easter musicians, Lead Belly, Blind Willie McTell, Simon & Garfunkel, Country Joe & The Fish and Neil Young. More information here:
