Abeer Sheikh and the Wonderband - Stray

Abeer Sheikh and his wonderband. Bringing indie/electronic music to a greater consciousness since its inception. A nuclear center around which various collaborative artists revolve, Abeer Sheikh manages to impress in this offering. 'Stray' features delectably labyrinthine lyrics, periodically interspersed with a haunting vocal harmony. The constant flat thudding of the snare somehow manages not to appear superfluous, and gels in the tune nicely till its culmination in an acoustic riff showdown. One can even hear the ukulele being strummed to give the rhythm section a nice foundation.





Exhibit A - an excerpt from the lyrics: 

He seems vicious, delirious, self destructively serious 
He's vindictive, no common sense, no shame nor pride just negligence 


Good guy Abeer Sheikh. He's met ones like you before, just so that you know.
