Sir Richard Bishop & His Freak of Araby Ensemble

atsonicpark · 03.16.2009, 01:04 PM

Sir Richard Bishop has just completed a groundbreaking album entitled The Freak of Araby, which sees him revisiting his Middle Eastern roots. Electric guitar, Moroccan chanters, bass, and heavy percussion are the instruments of choice for this one. Half of the songs on this new release are original pieces by SRB and the remaining half consists of traditional North African folk songs as well as compositions by Elias Rahbani, Mohamed Abdel Wahab, and others. The new LP will be released by Drag City on May 26, 2009 and a US tour will begin around the same time. This will be the first tour ever by SRB to feature a full band. Tour dates will be announced soon.

Yeah, my brain exploded.

I bet this will be record of 09.

atsonicpark · 03.16.2009, 01:37 PM

It'll definitely be one of the best, if the rest of the album is as good as these 4 songs.

I just read James Blackshaw is also working on a new disc, it's coming out through Young God Records sometime this spring, I think it's being produced by Michael Gira actually. This year is going to be awesome.

Derek · 03.16.2009, 01:40 PM

The past few years have been amazing for music I think! So many great acts and albums I think. This year will definitely be the best of this decade hopefuly.
