Kinematik is an instrumental rock band from Lebanon, whose music blends elements of 70's psychedelia, progressive rock and post-rock. Kinematik's rock sound is both diligent and intuitional, ranging from raucous improvisational psychedelic rock to steady and mechanical electronic grooves, with frequent post-rock climaxes. Immediate points of comparison include Explosions in the Sky, Can, Loop and Tortoise . Kinematik composes instrumental pieces that feature dynamic contrast, strong melodic lines, a heavy use of distortion and effects, and some reliance on electronics and synthezisers. The band collaberated with renowned Lebanese producer Fadi Tabbal from Tunefork Studios (Postcards, Bunny Tylers, Safar, Filter Happier, etc.), who produced this debut LP ALA'. Recorded on reel to reel tape, a recording process that has not occurred in Lebanon for the last decade.
