about

Lebanese musician, producer, and sound engineer Fadi Tabbal’s solo work consists of guitar pieces ranging from stripped acoustics to ambient and electronic-inspired treatments. He has released 4 albums since 2013, including 'On The Rooftop Looking Up' [2013], 'Museum Of Disappearing Buildings' [Beacon Sound/Ruptured, 2015], 'How's Annie' [Ruptured, 2016] and 'Music For The Lonely Vol.1' [Beacon Sound, 2018].

On this fifth solo album, he delves deeper into the theme of alienation in a suffocating city. Composed and conceived almost entirely at his home in Beirut during quarantine, the record is his most intimate yet. While his previous solo work consisted solely of guitar pieces, this time Tabbal adds tape loops, vocal samples and synthesizers to his sound palette in an attempt to convey the subjectivity of memory and our tendency to write and rewrite history according to the present.
The result is seven pieces that veer between minimalism and ambient music akin to recent outings by Pan American’s Mark Nelson and mid-period Stars of the Lid. Three of the tracks feature the voice of Julia Sabra, singer for Beirut dream-pop group Postcards.
