SAFAR - In Transit (Sealed) (CD)

Lebanese duo founded in 2013 by Mayssa Jallad (vocals, various percussion) and Elie Abdelnour (acoustic and electric guitars, bass). Safar's music consists of a very personal take on American and British psychedelic folk, infused with modern pop and rock references, as well as subtle references to the Lebanese golden age of 60's surf. The band has a widespread following in Lebanon, gathered over the years thanks to a number of intimate performances marked by singer Jallad's emotional vocal delivery and Abdelnour's intricate guitar work. "In Transit" is a compilation of their first three EPs "23 Kilograms", "Carry-On" and "Gate 03" in a limited edition of 300 copies.
