SANAM meets Jad Atoui, you know something excellent is going to happen. Amidst an escalating war and unprecedented bombardment, somehow Lebanon's music scene still managed to churn out releases - all while many were organizing shelter and food for those in need. This one embodies that spirit as much as any of them. The album's fiercely crackling and driving electronics fuse a sound so powerful, that it seems to channel lost and unwritten musics together with newly invented music, and Sandy's vocals ring out as both song and scream.
