Middle-Easter Psychedelic Rock collective Al-Qasar published the officil music video for “Kişisel İsa (Personal Jesus)” featuring Sibel and taken from upcoming album “Uncovered” due out on November 27, 2024 via Wewantsounds. Watch the video through the YouTube player below:
“They say nothing beats the original. But when international psychedelic collective Al-Qasar tackles a classic Depeche Mode track such as Personal Jesus, you know you’re in for a brain-melting, transcontinental trip. The lyrics are in Turkish, the iconic riffs performed on electric saz. The cast is stunning, with studio wizard Thomas Attar on production, guitar and saz, Turkish breakthrough artist Sibel on vocals, and a mix by Grammy-winner Matt Hyde (Slayer, Deftones).
The new album, Uncovered (coming November 15 (Digital) / 24 Jan (Vinyl) via Wewantsounds, is a mind-boggling project consisting of covers from the Western and Arab repertoires as well as originals, with guest appearances from Alsarah, Mamani Keita, Cheick Tidiane Seck, and Sami Galbi among others.” – Al-Qasar
When continents collide, they make a thunderous sound. Al-Qasar create the soundtrack to that fission. Arabian Fuzz, they term it, a vision that’s brazenly electric and deeply connected to its roots. The band was started in the Barbès neighborhood of Paris by producer Thomas Attar Bellier, who brought together musicians from France, Lebanon, the USA, Morocco, Algeria, Armenia and Egypt.
Lineup:
Sibel / Vocals, Zils
