I absolutely love the highly energetic mix of rock middle-eastern traditional music. This one is especially good. it instantly sucks you into it's story and tells you a wonderful and exhilarating tale. heraldofennui
Is it the song writing skills, could it be the odd or slightly warped bridges sporadically placed throughout, perhaps the technical guitar mastery, or maybe his clean vocal clarity that fits into that Crosby Stills Nash folk? It's the most comforting, and at times unsettling, acoustic (mostly) album I've listen to for a long time. Dr. Beaf
One might be tempted to assume that expanding a single rhythm pattern to 35 minutes can't be anything but royal boredom. Not in this case! Frankly, I was surprised. There's a lot of unexpected change along this jumbo track, and the aforementioned basic groove keeps the mind busy. Even if you know from the liner notes that it's some 19/16 thing, it's hard to figure out exactly how it works. To me, this awesome unique rhythm monster constitutes a baffling riddle, probably never to be solved... Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
The new EP from Scottish songwriter Alec Bowman_Clarke goes deep, setting vulnerable lyrics to gentle melodies & stripped-back arrangements. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 30, 2021
Brilliant record. I don’t usually listen to this style of music, but the album gripped me. It was intriguing while remaining accessible and heart-felt. Art as Cathasis really shares some amazing artists! ckokomo808
