Other Worlds And Habitats

Standout single from The Library Archives Volume 4, The Galata Extraction sets the mood for a Levantine thriller, with classic exotic sounds reminiscent of the Eastern Mediterranean region. The dumbek-reminiscent bongos swirl around a driving disco pulse of kit and handclaps, and the melodies come in psychedelic waves; first, an action-packed unison guitar and Farfisa riff, then a winding melody on the Farfisa alone, and finally a jangling reverb of overdriven guitar that’s almost gothic. It’s a little treasure house of a track, as full of bright things as a Moroccan souk, and the promise of mystery and adventure stays with you long after the track has finished.
