We’re less than a month away from the release of AL-‘AN ! الآن (And your night is your shadow — a fairy-tale piece of land to make our dreams), the new album from French outfit Oiseaux-Tempête. Following their previously shared singles, the poignant and compelling ‘Carnaval feat Mondkopf’ and more recently the wonderful and ethereal ‘I Don’t Know, What Or Why (Mish Aaref Eish W Leish)’ featuring Tamer Abu Ghazaleh, one hardly needs further convincing that their album is one not to be missed. In anticipation of the album’s release, Oiseaux-Tempête are offering a new track, ‘Through The Speech Of Stars’. Clocking in at nearly eighteen minutes, ‘Through The Speech Of Stars’ is an absolute opus of a song, with guest contributions from G.W. Sok (The Ex, Cannibales & Vahinés) and Gareth Davis and featuring a poem by Mahmoud Darwich.

AL-‘AN ! الآن (And your night is your shadow — a fairy-tale piece of land to make our dreams) is out on April 14th via Sub Rosa.
