JhameelJhameel

 

Jhameel presents a blend of orchestral instruments, makeshift percussion, pop vocal melodies, and ambient synthesizers that creates an unfamiliar yet warm atmosphere.
 
From sounds like the splash of water and the collision of silverware in "Opium and the Royal Children," to the violin and cello ensemble comprising the eerie timbre of "Child-bearer," or the grandiose mix of electronic drums and live strings in "Tower of Babel," his music proves eclectic, refreshing, and catchy.
 
The lyrics, which are as delicate and complex as the sound, revolve around such topics as Middle Eastern womanhood, homosexuality, and urban prostitution, giving voice to the silent margins of society.

Sun Cut Flat

 

Sun Cut Flat makes layered music for headphones. They are an undiscovered gem for anyone who loves independent  music, and their entire debut album was recorded in an attic. Swirling guitars and icy atmospheres often blend into
ambience, but the stories of the songs themselves never get lost in abstraction.
