تدمر‎ | valley of the tombs | coming soon

gladly presenting, palmyra - valley of the tombs, and bride of the desert. two sprawling, dream-like re-investigations of the original piece to be found on my 'sittah.sittah.sab'ah' album, and taking us further into the hallucinogenic depths of the spectral desert scene, within the realms of the ancient city. 

valley of the tombs finds us in the misty half-light of the deserted valleys at dawn, eerie droning trumpets and whispering winds of field recordings, slowly joined by monolithic sub-bass and droning oud passages, ushering in the night and changing into a dark, writhing dirge til its conclusion.

bride of the desert, leads us back from the dark of the valley, into the depths of the majestic ancient city at dawn. the oud motifs from the valley transmute into lilting saxophones and vast droning sub-bass that expand and unfold, rising amidst crashing percussive swells and mournful tones and textures, before awkward trumpets and field-recordings slowly lend their steady unease.

available from 29th december as an ongoing digital download, and ultra-limited-edition cassette tape of only twelve copies; be sure to investigate when the time comes, and allow yourself time to be swept up into the ethereal incantations and to bathe in the psychotropic sound-fields.

الحمراء‎ | court of the lions | coming soon

gladly presenting, alhambra - court of the lions, and the architect's garden. two sprawling, dream-like re-investigations of the original piece to be found on the 'sittah.sittah.sab'ah' album, and taking us further into the hallucinogenic depths of the shimmering desert-sea palace by way of psychedelic incantations. 

court of the lions finds us buried deep within abyssal sub-bass frequencies, wailing trumpets and doom-like oud passages, that so very slowly build into a vast dirge of monolithic proportions, yet one so measured and deliberate in its intent to crush. 

the architect's garden, in contrast, finds us caught in a shimmering sunlit dream of droning saxophone and oud, field recordings and hazy, blissful recollections of distant shores slowly coming into focus, before trailing back away into a lilting still. 

available from monday as an ongoing digital download, and ultra-limited-edition cassette tape of only twelve copies; be sure to investigate immediately, and allow yourself time to be swept up into the thunderous storm and to bathe in the warming radiance. get involved.

مدينة الياسمين | tape release | coming soon

due to the unprecedented success of the digital version of my recent 'the city of jasmine' live album, i had decided to set about preparing a limited edition cassette tape run of the release, to be made available on my forthcoming EU tour, as well as for order from my online store.

hand-crafted as a limited edition of just 44 copies, each piece is recorded on to chrome tape at the highest standards and packaged in a heavy-duty black card box featuring arabesque designs and containing three mini-postcards featuring auxiliary information and further beautiful art.

please do be sure to think about securing yourself a copy, once the release date rolls around... and, anyone who has already donated a significant amount for their copy of the digital release can expect a transmission regarding their postal address for a free copy of the tape as a 'thank you' for the support.

more details coming soon . keep safe . be well

babelfishh - anxiety lesions - out now

the brutal, unrelenting horror, ascending in mounting waves, forever, on fire. with grim despair might we announce that the new tape release from the bloodied claws of babelfishh is now upon us, entitled 'anxiety lesions', featuring thirty minutes of unbroken devastation and now available via the unchurch of divergent series; the unhallowed frkse ever at the monolithic helm.

fifteen songs of cruelty and abuse, mayhem and desolation, grind and destruction, absolutely wall-to-wall with unbridled chews of unharmonious deconsecration; the tape is a filthy sprawling mess of gut-wrenching terror and surely fits as the next salvo in the macabre canon, following on from the unspeakable desolation of 'howl bender'.

be sure to seriously think about fixing yourself a copy, as these murderous beasts shall surely disappear faster than the frantic binge of hideous weeks that took to create them. also featuring my own haggard final fingers as i sought to mince the tracks through my own appalling workshop of despair. buy now, pay forever. six six lesions.

ستة ستة سبعة | tape coming 9th december | vi . vi . vii

might i gladly take this moment to officially present the astonishingly beautiful physical cassette tape release of my forthcoming debut self-produced solo release, entitled 'six six seven' and coming this monday, 9th december via the wonderful mism records.

the actual tape release is a thing of astonishing beauty. hand-crafted by the near-legendary mich and manu in a quantity of only 44 copies, it is a monolith in miniature form, resembling some dark stone stelae on a spectral plane, and a thing to behold and handle indeed.

it is such an honour for me to be able to present this new collection of songs, and very much to be able to do so in partnership with the mism family; an operation that i am so deeply fond of. might i heartily recommend that you think about securing yourself a copy as soon as time permits.

keep safe and warm
