Jerusalem In My Heart represents exactly why we live in one of the most exciting times for musical discovery. It's a layered and stacked, multifaceted sonic tapestry that calls on an abundance of influences to paint something that is Arab-Levantine-avant-garde sound art in the truest sense. Places that feel as though they were born in the 21st and 17th centuries alike. Textures that are entirely of the eastern Mediterranean, and yet utterly global.
Led by Radwan Ghazi Moumneh, 13 powerful tracks are presented on this latest outing, which also features guests like Moor Mother, Tim Hecker, Lucrecia Dalt, Greg Fox, and Rabih Beaini. Politics are at the fore, with the second side tunes all sharing a name and bearing an individual number, representing how violence in the region has reached new heights while poignant to consistent state failures on an economic front. Simply put, this is absolutely unmissable.
