Reviews
- This is utterly spellbinding.
The blissful detachment of the music exists in contrast to a very grounded personal story behind the album, a tribute to Asmar's grandmother. I think this only enriches the experience and makes me want to "Come Back Later". This contemporary artist works in Lebanon - in these insane times - rendering her "isolationist drone" more social than aesthetic. Read the interview to find out:
