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:
