Our Take

CHARBEL HABER - It Ended Up Being A Great Day, Mr. Allende

In an unexpected turn of events, Charbel Haber's latest album, "It Ended Up Being A Great Day, Mr. Allende", proves to be a delightful surprise in the realm of experimental rock. The Lebanese musician, known for his work in bands like Scrambled Eggs, takes listeners on a sonic journey that is both hauntingly beautiful and fiercely original.

From the opening track, "Unforgettable Pastel Memories", Haber sets the tone with his signature blend of ethereal vocals and intricate guitar work. The album ebbs and flows with a sense of urgency, never quite settling into any one genre or style. Songs like "Clockwork Orange County" and "Midnight Stroll Through The Apocalypse" showcase Haber's knack for blending elements of post-rock, shoegaze, and electronica into a mesmerizing tapestry of sound.

But what truly sets "It Ended Up Being A Great Day, Mr. Allende" apart is its lyrical depth and emotional resonance. Haber's poetic, introspective lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world in turmoil, grappling with themes of isolation, longing, and redemption. Tracks like "The Ghost Of Sylvia Plath" and "Riding Shotgun With Cormac McCarthy" showcase Haber's storytelling prowess, drawing listeners in with their vivid imagery and melancholic beauty.

Overall, "It Ended Up Being A Great Day, Mr. Allende" is a triumph of creativity and innovation. Charbel Haber has crafted a work of art that is as challenging as it is rewarding, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in its complex, labyrinthine beauty. This is an album that demands repeat listens, rewarding those who take the time to unravel its many layers. Dive in, and prepare to be swept away.
