| About SINKANE |
"Most of the blog chatter out there around Columbus, Ohio's Sinkane has centered on the biography of bandleader Ahmed Gallab, and, well, it's definitely not your usual "moved to Brooklyn, started band" bedtime story. At age six, Gallab fled from Sudan with his family. After settling in the U.S., he went on to play drums in hardcore bands. More recently, Gallab and his "Sinkane Family Travelin' Band" scored a gig opening for Caribou and Fuck Buttons and he is now part of Caribou's touring band. You can hear moments from throughout that bio in "Autobahn", off of Sinkane's forthcoming debut album, Color Voices. The drums function almost as a lead instrument, setting a galloping, propulsive beat, beneath psychedelic-textured guitars, sighing woodwinds, and quiet vocals you might expect to find on Andorra. "Singing all alone," goes the vocal. Near the five-minute mark, Gallab starts just unloading on the drums, as a gale-force gust of sound swells behind him. I might like to hear the song developed a bit more (though it makes more sense in the context of the record, where the tracks flow into each other), but the mesmerizing rhythm does its best to ensure Gallab won't be singing all alone forever."
