When continents collide, they make a thunderous sound. Al-Qasar create the soundtrack to that fission. Arabian fuzz, they term it, a vision that’s brazenly electric and deeply connected to its roots. The collective was started by producer Thomas Attar, who brought together musicians from 4 continents.
