Akuphone presents « Doomsday Survival Kit », PRAED’s fourth album. This is the ultimate kit to prepare calmly for the sixth extinction! The Lebanese duo delivers a raging interpretation of the chaabi – popular Arabic music – using synthesizers, drum Machines, samples and other devices. The result is hypnotic and psychedelic, on the verge of trance. The clarinet of Paed Conca and the soaring lyricism of Raed Yassin sound like distant calls for help emerging from a world that is falling apart and slipping away.
The record itself is enhanced by its sleeve – designed by the Lebanese artist Raphaëlle Macaron – printed in 5 Pantone colors making it as explosive as the music.

Akuphone présente « Doomsday Survival Kit », le quatrième album de PRAED. L’outil indispensable pour préparer sereinement la sixième extinction ! Le duo libanais nous livre une furieuse interprétation de la musique populaire arabe (le chaâbi) avec l’utilisation de synthétiseurs, boîte à rythme, samples et autres machines pour un résultat hypnotique et psychédélique à la frontière de la transe. La clarinette de Paed Conca et les envolées lyriques de Raed Yassin sonnent comme de lointains appels à l’aide provenant de ce monde qui périclite et nous échappe.
L’objet disque est ici sublimé par une pochette signée par Raphaëlle Macaron, dessinatrice franco-libanaise, et imprimée avec 5 couleurs pantone pour un rendu aussi explosif que la musique.
