untouchable - Austin Town Hall

More New Music from The Cairo Gang

March 8, 2017 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

When this guitar first entered my ears I immediately flashed back to a period of heavy riffs and glam outfits. But, while those elements definitely exist in this new Cairo Gang, I love the way the guitars sit back in the mix, letting the breath-y vocals provide the emphatic stomp as the notes turn over one another. Perhaps one of the finer elements of this piece are the jammier moments being stretched out carrying listeners through a psychedelic journey all the way to the abrupt end. Untouchable, the newest album from the project, will be released on March 24th via God?.

Brand New Tunes from The Cairo Gang

February 7, 2017 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Drag City has one of the most diverse stables of bands, offering up quiet folk, experimental tunes and, of course, heavy tinged guitar acts like Ty Segall. This new track from The Cairo Gang seems to fall in the latter category, though only in spirit. While you could see these riffs being amplified, they’re pulled back in the studio mix, bringing in a more classic glam sound that carries more of a heavy stomp than a head bang. It all brings a steady groove, casually rocking listeners rather than beating them over the head…which is great for those of us who don’t want to blast the cones on our speakers.The new album Untouchable will be available via DC’s God? Imprint on March 24th.
