Ghost Lemurs - Wombs And Alien Spirits (2024)

Ghost Lemurs is an experiment on a mediterranean parallel timeline. The duo composed by Kareem Lotfy and Heith recorded this album drawing inspiration from an incredibly diverse number of traditions, sonic sources and techniques of musical experimentation, keeping its psychedelic intentions central to the whole creative endeavor. Moments of meditative relaxation are brought to unsettling new levels by cavernous basses and spaced out drones, while tight polyrhythms bring beautiful granular melodies to a sidereal ceremonial dance.

As beautiful and captivating as it is, Wombs And Alien Spirits remains as chimeric and unrestrained as any previous effort by the two artists. It’s a type of folk music devoid of a specific homeland, but resulting from the authors’ heritages, simultaneously divided and united by the mediterranean sea, injected with all the trajectories of their personal journeys.

It ends up sounding profoundly human and uncannily inhuman, tapping into an undiscovered alien element at the beginning of the experience of life.
