Our Take

Grab your falafel sandwiches and buckle up, because Dudu Tassa and Jonny Greenwood's latest collaboration, "Jarak Qarib," is a wild ride through the textures of the Middle East and the experimental soundscapes of Radiohead's very own guitar wizard.

Tassa, an Israeli singer-songwriter with a voice that's both soulful and haunting, brings a touch of nostalgia and longing to the mix. Greenwood, on the other hand, adds his trademark guitar wizardry and knack for pushing boundaries to create a truly unique sonic experience.

The album kicks off with "Nahawand," a mesmeric blend of traditional Middle Eastern melodies and Greenwood's signature ethereal guitar tones. Tassa's voice floats effortlessly over the lush instrumentation, creating a hypnotic atmosphere that draws you in from the get-go.

Tracks like "Manifesto" and "Makongo" showcase Greenwood's intricate guitar work and Tassa's emotive vocals, weaving together elements of rock, folk, and traditional Middle Eastern music in a way that feels both familiar and utterly fresh.

But it's on the closing track, "Brewing," where Tassa and Greenwood truly hit their stride. The song builds and swells with a sense of urgency, culminating in a cathartic release that leaves you breathless and wanting more.

In conclusion, "Jarak Qarib" is a captivating listen that blends the old with the new, the familiar with the unfamiliar, to create a musical tapestry that is as unpredictable as it is exhilarating. Dudu Tassa and Jonny Greenwood have crafted a masterpiece that demands repeated listens and rewards the adventurous listener. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
