Sinkane

Ahmed Gallab (Sinkane) is not just a drummer for the indie elite (Caribou, of Montreal, Born Ruffians) but he's also a mastermind behind the psychedelic music of his solo project. His third, self-titled release is part one of a two album series starting where last year's Color Voice left off. A stream-of-consciousness, purposefully rough around the edges record. More cohesive and structured than Color Voice, filled with African blues guitar, kraut rock rhythms, free jazz horns, and a Spacemen 3-esque ambience. Sinkane is a swami, psychedelic journey full of drones, repetition, and bombastic percussion.
