Land Of Kush

Sand Enigma (2lp)

Deluxe double LP on 180 gram audiophile vinyl, including multiple art inserts and/or poster + digital download coupon. Sam Shalabi's stupendous and genre-defying Land Of Kush orchestra is back with its first album since 2013's 'The Big Mango' (Shalabi's love letter to Cairo, composed during the Arab Spring). The disenchantments of the years since have been devastating, to say the least, and the devastatingly-titled 'Sand Enigma' bristles accordingly - this is Shalabi's most acute and accomplished big-band composition to date, with the orchestra on fire as they stir up a melting pot of Arabic tropes, avant-jazz, modern classical, freaknoise, electronics and sound art. Nadah El Shazly is a featured vocalist on this one.
