Talking about going back to your roots, Batov Records find the 'Primordial Soup' with their latest release, the latest album by Eje Eje (aka Itamar Kluger).
The album follows 'Five Seasons' from a couple of years ago (see review HERE) and it's more high quality Middle Eastern pysch funk pysch folky global grooves
Crossing some Door goth into their psych rock funk with some Turkish trad folk, this is incredible as Kluger plays most to the instruments himself.
We're told the album was "Inspired by the scientific theory of life's origins, the album is a 'primal fusion' of contrasting elements -traditional instrumentation meets beat-driven textures in an imaginative and emotionally charged soundscape" and I don't doubt it.
WOMAD is back next year, let's keep the campaign for a whole Batov Records Stage; wouldn't that be great!
