Following the release of the single "Maqlab," the Marseille-based duo Caïn و Muchi presents their debut full-length album Dounia (دنيا). This takes listeners on a journey through a rich tapestry of industrial gloom woven of dubstep, grime, and contemporary hip-hop. In this album, these "labels" matter as much as they don't, given the heavy mutations they undergo, in a "That's Hara Kiri" fashion (RIP Sd Laika). At the heart of this record lies a dense yet harmonious sound palette, featuring meticulous vocal processing of lead singer Vanda's voice, which engages reflection on their shared and individual lives. As the album progresses, the lyrics reveal layers of stress and trauma linked to colonial experience, intertwined with multiple references to North African ghost stories and legends. The result is a resonant experience, where the wraithlike and glacial instrumentals crafted by the duo encapsulates the introspective act of witnessing the turmoil of our current world. Featuring Assyouti.
