Rami Gabriel’s second LP Tunderizer focuses the harsh experimentalism of post-punk industrial upon the intimate sphere of home. Like shadows crossing through mirrors, a mesh of lo- fi noise art and field recordings obscures expertly tuned songwriting. Tunderizer fires in all registers, from irrepressible melody to deconstructive static, from country to tarab, skronk to delta blues.Born in Beirut, Rami Gabriel is a composer and songwriter who plays Oud, Buzuq, and Guitar. He learned blues and jazz performing with legendary Chicago musicians and integrating it with Arabic traditions.
