Middle East Magic


There is no doubt about it. The Middle East are all about creating the magic. Although their music may be frustratingly hard to get into, once you have nestled down between the comforting layers of musical genius, it is unlikely that you are going to budge for a while. Their sound can only be described as sounding fairly similar to Sigur Ross and Iron and Wine and their dreamy like lyrics and captivating melodies all but help entice you to lay back after a hard day and soak up the refreshingly soothing sounds.

Lonely is an epic song, it goes for around 7 minutes, but please try and stick it out, because once you do, you will instantly become a fan. The simple guitar riffs, soothing vocals and use of soft percussions gradually build to a truly orgasmic point. The fruits of Middle East's labours have truly paid off.
