nadah_elshazly’s voice is something to behold. Alone on stage at 24-HOUR DRONE, the Egyptian vocalist and composer-producer seemed overcome with emotion, pounding her chest and falling to the ground as she sang heart-wrenching laments in Arabic. On Pollution Opera, the self-titled debut album from her duo with fellow singer-sound artist Elvin Brandhi, shows a different, though not entirely unrelated, side of her skill set. The new album, released in April on dansenoire, is a haunted journey through menacing drones, jarring percussion, and jumpscare samples. But even amid all this noise, there’s a constant sense of forward motion, evoking a slow but unhalting trip down the River Styx into the depths of Tartarus.
