“There is something that awakes one into mysticism when Middle Eastern instruments produce their organic sounds. The inner journey appears, and the path is shown. Her voice carries us to the next destination on the dace called life. ”

KAYAN Project's long-awaited album is finally being released !

https://kayanproject.bandcamp.com/

This debut album captures the complex beauty of the levant, bringing together composed poetry in Hebrew and Arabic, from melancholic to upbeat tunes. KAYAN, meaning existence, transcends the borders of the middle east in music, language and poetry.

Out of Berlin’s bustling music scene comes the unique and authentic sound of KAYAN, a group dedicated to folk music from the Levant, combining jazz elements and singing in languages that rarely come together in a positive context: Arabic and Hebrew. Drawing from sources from all over the Middle East, the quartet around lead singer Eden Cami transcends borders and language barriers. Adding improvisation and own compositions, Kayan creates a fascinating and emotional vibe on stage, reuniting two sister languages and musical traditions of both Arab and Jewish roots. In times of tension and conflict it is a daringly positive approach that recalls what unites rather than divides us.

Sunday Driver announce their first single since 2020's ‘Time Machine’. Taken from their forthcoming new album Sun God, ‘Somewhere Nice’ is a hypnotic, poppy return from a band that like the rest of us is just about holding on! Whilst the song has very little lyrical content, what lyrics there are capture life in 2021 perfectly: I can see you holding on, but I don't believe my eyes, So let me take you on a ride somewhere nice.

This theme is echoed by guitar player Chemise's revolving 7/4 riff, which not only serves to make the track feel immediate and intricate but represents the lyrics and themes from the upcoming record.

On the song, lead singer Chandy Nath explains:

"Escapism, being transported to that ‘other place’ – whether real or imaginary – that’s what the song is fundamentally about. Even when everything seems to be falling apart, there’s a voice in your head that tells you that ‘here and now’ is transitory and that there will be a release from it all, maybe it’s inaccessible right now but it’s there and you will get to it, someday a long way from now.

This song has taken on new meaning for me after lockdown – it encapsulates a sense of being at breaking point but still managing to hold it together. Holding on to the conviction that we will (eventually) be somewhere else. Somewhere Nice.

For many people, the first lockdown meant being confined at home, with one day being much the same as another, and yet at the same time a sense of danger, of impending doom, of apocalypse. The sense of there being nowhere to go. Before Covid, ‘going somewhere’ was a pretty ordinary thing but in the immediate aftermath of lockdown even a drink at the local became a huge event."

The song bounces around playfully with Kat Arney's clarinet lines floating overhead, tight bass and drums and smatterings of genius from tabla maestro Kuljit Bhamra, his interactions with drummer Pete Mansfield find some particularly hopeful points of joy frequently.

More details on Sunday Driver’s new album Sun God will follow early 2022 alongside a string of new single releases.

“Meditation in the best of its manifestation. Hang drum and natural sounds, awakening music lovers in a unique artistic world. Feel the vibration in the air, contemplate for what is happening around, take a deep breath and slowly exhalate. See the world as it is and not as we like.”

“Медитация в лучшем своём проявление. Пение Hang Drum, звуков природы и пробуждение любителей музыки в уникальном звуковом мире. Почувствуйте вибрации в воздухе, созерцайте за происходящим вокруг, сделайте глубокий вдох и медленный выдох. Увидьте мир таким, какой он есть, а не таким, каким мы хотели бы или не хотели бы его видеть.”
