The music of LA’s Rainbow Arabia is both other-worldly and primitive, conjuring up images of space aliens building the Great Pyramids and strange ceremonies that may have commenced. A fusion of eastern melodies, tribal grooves and unnerving post-punk melodies, both “Omar K” and its b-side “Let Them Dance” (video below) dance like ancient spirits straight into the subconscious.

Pick up the 7″ from Merok Records and the awesome The Basta EP from Amazon.
