Out May 6 on Emergency Umbrella Records
The son of a freedom fighter Journalist/Politician, at age six, Ahmed Gallab and his family fled to the United States from Sudan due to current President Omar El-Bashir's successful coup of the former democratic government.
Growing up in the United States has given him the liberty to pursue music. He learned the ropes by playing drums in smelly basements with hardcore bands: wear n' tear tours that have included having to converse with neo-Nazis at a camp fire, waking up on top of bags of trash and a near death cliff-hanging in a van full of amps.
Now, creating his own music as Sinkane, Gallab has taken his knowledge from his DIY roots to create a new sonic blare. The debut record aptly entitled "Color Voice" is a hypnotic rhythm that ebbs and flows shoegaze, jazz and psychedelic themes: an ethereal soundscape full of delay and drones contrasted by cascading dueling drum kits. Rhythm is king in Sinkane.
