Radiohead‘s Jonny Greenwood has introduced a brand new album with Israeli musician Dudu Tassa.
‘Jarak Qaribak’ will come out on June 9 and is being previewed by a primary single titled ‘Ashufak Shay’.
Discussing the type of the music on the album in a press launch, Tassa – who has beforehand toured with Radiohead – stated: “When individuals take heed to this music, I actually like to think about them considering…what is that this? It sounds Seventies, however there are drum machines, there are guitars however they’re singing in Arabic…what’s occurring?”
Greenwood mentioned how the challenge in comparison with one other previous collaboration with an Israeli singer, Shye Ben Tzur, saying: “‘Jarak Qaribak’ introduced the same set of issues, in that you’ve got all these scales which don’t conform to western main/minor scales, and have notes which contain quarter-tones, and it’s very exhausting to impose a chord sequence on these melodies. It often makes them collapse. It’s like decreasing the decision on a color picture till it’s simply squares.”
