Store Categories FATIMA AL QADIRI - Genre Specific Xperience /LP NEW VINYL / UNO 2011
Weeks after bewitching us as Ayshay on Tri Angle, Fatima Al Qadiri gives a superb single for the highly promising UNO imprint (recent host to music by Jacques Greene and CFCF). The NYC-based artist, musician and composer is already a favourite of Dan Lopatin and certainly has our approval at the very least, and justifiably so; she's making some of the most arresting, avant-cyber-pop sounds we've heard all year. 'Genre-Specific Xperience' is a sort of eerie meditation on simulated strains of R&B, intranational harmonics and ultra-saccharin synth music - from lilting metallo-carib timbres on 'Hip Hop Spa' and 'D-medley' through the oriental synth patterning of 'How Can I Resist U' and the RPG-drama of 'Vatican Vibes' (check the video on youtube!) or the militant Trance grind of her early 'Corpcore' ace. To us, there's a kindred spirit, in its off-kilter tuning and vision with, say Peter Christopherson's Threshold Household Boys Choir and Björk - a warped and cerebral pop spirit which we simply can't get enough of. Highly Recommended.
