therealaugustineesterhammerfic I can't fathom the level, the mind reels Favorite track: Entente.

Ryan Sarno Tal National's Tantabara is a superb third Fat Cat release from one of the world's best bands. Tantabara is largely in the same vein as Zoy Zoy and Kaani with a few additional textures - occasional keys, a fuzz (!) guitar solo, one track disintegrates into oscillating reverb. The impossibly precise ensemble playing, locked in 12/8 rhythms, and face melting vocal performances are all present.

Almeida is the guitar hero you need. Do whatever you can to see Tal National live. Favorite track: Entente.

about

spirit, though, and opening their home up as a studio means that everybody gets to be involved in the process. Over the 8 tracks on Tantabara, there are 8 different vocalists - 7 of whom are full time members of the band.

They are a self-described “rock band,” though their vision of rock may push well past what the West fences in around that term, and guitarist Almeida finds as much inspiration in trance as he does in rock’s embrace. The grooves are the backbone of the album, and the intent is to create a trance-state that overwhelms conscious thought and lets the listener be surrounded by the energy and emotion of Tal National. Brimming with the band’s complex, intense spirit, the album is a continuation of the balance of tradition and innovation that have driven their previous albums. It’s a joyous celebration and euphoric epiphany all in one complex package. We’d expect nothing less at this point from Tal National.

A stripped-down, one-man kinda Tuareg-rock that centres Moctar's sensitive, inquisitive guitarwork through minimal instrumentation and production. Sounds like being in a small club or bar with the man himself on stage. Magical. Tom Colquhoun
