The world needs mashrou3leila
Members of the Beirut-based band Mashrou' Leila, fronted by lead singer Hamed Sinno, have been edging the status quo for quite some time now. Their self-titled debut, released in 2010, still stands strong as a norm-challenging statement on the indie-pop canon.
The songs exist on the compilation as appropriate contradictions within the larger Mashrou' Leila story. He recognizes this directly when speaking about activism."Getting through [the last ten years], I am so grateful. In spite of all the hardship and in spite of all the nonsense, really absolute nonsense and bigotry, it's ridiculous. I'm so grateful, but that comes with a lot of pressure," Sinno says about the band's journey as a whole.
Mixing together the reflections, hardships, and critical success of the band into one record is a daunting task, but one that's provided a source of renewed energy for Sinno on this upcoming leg of the tour, especially ahead of the group's NYC performance."We're trying out a couple of new songs," he tells me about the tour."We haven't done that in a while.
This time is different — with reflection has come refreshed viewpoints in the unreleased tracks, especially at the intersection of activism and joy."One of them, sonically, is quite different to a lot of things we've done before. It's really happy and optimistic. At the time, I was reading something about joyful militancy as an optimistic approach to politics and how joy can be a wonderful political call for activists.
Mashrou' Leila will be performing at The Knockdown Center for Damian Lazarus' Get Lost Live on October 11, 2019. Get tickets
