'This album, born in Sharjah in April 2024, amidst the echoes of historic rainfall and as part of the Sharjah Art Foundation's "To Give Music a Purpose (or Not): A Universal Maverickism" series, marks a powerful return for me, seeing Kawol perform again after 15 years.
It is a masterclass in improvisation, where the seemingly sparse elements of faltering guitar and evocative monologue bloom into singular expansive sonic narratives.
This record is an invitation to lean in, to discover the intricate worlds hidden within the unvarnished and the spontaneous –a powerful statement that the most profound expressions are often found far from the conventional path, especially in times of great uncertainty and flux.'
