Carol Bui

Add Date: May 31 

Artist: Carol Bui 

Album: Red Ship 

Label: Ex Oh 

Genre: Rock, experimental 

Comments: From the promoter: "On Red Ship, Carol Bui's third album, she proves that Afrobeat drums, Middle Eastern dance music, prog riffs and punk rock can go well together... From the opening riff of '"Geisha" Means "Open-minded"', weepy strings slide over a busy bassline, while pounding percussion proves that Bui's interest in world music isn't just a hobby. Bui's Arabic-sounding vocals on tracks like 'Hayati Inta' contrast perfectly with the aggressive tinge of songs like 'Before We're Vaporized'. If the idea of Dirty Projectors, Gang Gang Dance and St. Vincent playing hardcore songs together would interest you, make sure to get on board Red Ship!"

A very intriguing and well-constructed record. Try tracks 3, 4, 5 and 8.
