There’s a new record on the way from two artists we love and have been following for a while now. This spring, Radwan Ghazi Moumneh and Frédéric D. Oberland, who have collaborated for years, join forces for their first full album as a duo, Eternal Life No End, arriving on April 3rd through Constellation. Moumneh, the Montreal based Lebanese artist behind Jerusalem In My Heart, who’s also known for working with artists like Matana Roberts, Alanis Obomsawin, Nadah El Shazly, and BIG | BRAVE , has been exploring memory, identity, and politics through Arabic song and electronics for a long time. Oberland, co-founder of French collective Oiseaux-Tempête, is known for his immersive compositions that sit somewhere between avant-rock and free improvisation.

Eternal Life No End grew out of a focused series of duets that began at Montréal’s Hotel2Tango studio in 2023. Over the course of two years, those sessions evolved into a deeper exchange, with both artists sharing compositional and production roles. Moumneh’s buzuk, rababa, and voice intertwine with Oberland’s modular synths, saxophone, and clarineau, all with hand percussion and electronics pulsing underneath. Imbued with fragility and tension, in a time of global turmoil, the album bridges artistic collaboration with political urgency. “Since the genocide started, I’d had a complete artistic block and the inability to articulate what people are living through,” Moumneh explains. He eventually traveled to Paris to work closely with Oberland. “We worked day and night together and made clear decisions collectively,” Oberland says, describing the process as “a healing process in a way.”

Ahead of the album’s release, Mouneh and Oberland have shared the stark and stirring opener ‘Squeal Of Swine’. Take a listen now.
