Mute

El Khats 3rd album mute belies its title as it careens out of the speakers with a raucous intensity. Formed in the garages and warehouses of Jaffa and now based in Berlin,the groups ever-expanding vision makes a defiant stand against complacency,conflict and division. Skittering drums and brass,a jagged organ,hypnotic Yemeni melodies and one-of-a-kind DIY percussion and string instruments,all meld together in an infectious,heady soundscape. Sometimes wildly raw,sometimes lush and enveloping. Always uncompromised and adventurous.
