- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
"Most of the blog chatter out there around Columbus, Ohio's Sinkane has
centered on the biography of bandleader Ahmed Gallab, and, well, it's
definitely not your usual "moved to Brooklyn, started band" bedtime story. At
age six, Gallab fled from Sudan with his family. After settling in the U.S.,
he went on to play drums in hardcore bands. More recently, Gallab and his
"Sinkane Family Travelin' Band" scored a gig opening for Caribou and Fuck
Buttons and he is now part of Caribou's touring band. You can hear moments
from throughout that bio in "Autobahn", off of Sinkane's forthcoming debut
album, Color Voices. The drums function almost as a lead instrument, setting
a galloping, propulsive beat, beneath psychedelic-textured guitars, sighing
woodwinds, and quiet vocals you might expect to find on Andorra. "Singing all
alone," goes the vocal. Near the five-minute mark, Gallab starts just
unloading on the drums, as a gale-force gust of sound swells behind him. I
might like to hear the song developed a bit more (though it makes more sense
in the context of the record, where the tracks flow into each other), but the
mesmerizing rhythm does its best to ensure Gallab won't be singing all alone
forever."
