Savage Times - Hanni El Khatib (2017)

He made a series of EPs the year before, and this album is the collection of them. It’s not complex but it’s a stompin’ good time.

Bluesy in most places, but with a little more complex psych rock going on in places as well as more laid-back pop. Musically and lyrically, it’s all over the place. Enjoyable end-to-end.

Tracks I Liked:

Baby’s OK - a raucous White-Stripes-style opener

Parylized - straight pop, with a groovy guitar line

Rosalia
Los Angeles
