about
The first instalment out of the upcoming Blend Mishkin album Unity of
Opposites, Egyptian Love is a hypnotic, Arabic jazz-meets-Jamaican-ska
joint, laced with a psychedelic vibe and Andalusian modes.
Featuring no other than the talented BNC on vocals and the incredible Roots Evolution band on the riddim, this first single perfectly sets the tone of what is to follow.
“The brasses re-announce an Arabic theme and a soft-spoken, BNC (Jeff
Gonzales) sings plaintively. Blend Mishkin’s electronics take us into ethereal places as we follow a seven-minute interlacing sound set.
The control and discipline of the band is evident here, the vocals do not dominate, nothing jars us out of our dream, but we are merged, sucked into a web of sound evoking something lost in the vast land of Egypt.”
-Dan Franck
